I’m not much of a reader. I guess that sounds funny coming from a blogger. I do read a lot online, but I don’t often pick up a book and read it cover to cover. I know there is a lot of classic books I have never read and really don’t even know the story lines in a lot of these popular books. A new trend these days is eBooks. This is generally a message or topic that is too long for a blog post, so it becomes an eBook. I guess we are lucky that eBooks didn’t exist a long time ago or we wouldn’t have a lot of the classics we have on the library shelves today.

Books like Moby Dick and The Catcher in the Rye I have never read. I know these are classics and a lot of people has read them over the years. The guy that shot John Lenon up in New York in the 1980′s, was reading The Catcher in the Rye. This guy was a mental case, but I would still like to read that book, to try and see what message he was actually getting from the Catcher and the Rye. The author of this famous book was J.D. Salinger and he just recently passed away. After learning about his death, it has made me want to read this book even more now. So that’s one of the classic books I will need to go to the library and check out one day. I believe I would like to read this book when a big rain storm comes through my area in North Georgia. Reading books while rain is falling outside, seems to be the perfect time to read a good book. After seeing how many classics and good recommendations is out there right now, I know I will need years to read the majority of classic stories that have been told over the years. Let me know some of your favorite books and please suggest 1 or 2 of the very best ones, that should be read by everyone at some point in their lives.

I’m sure you see some books up above you know and have read before. There are probably some that sparked your interest and now you have new books to add to your “must read” list. I would like to read all of these books and see why each one has created buzz or has a fan base. If I plan to finish my book list, I better start now. This is going to take me years to complete. I hope you found some books that you will want to read too. Many of these books can be bought in used condition and for a really cheap price. Be sure to let me know which books you plan to read first and which ones you already read and thought it was really good.
