I think it might be safe to say that my bedside reading mountain is getting a little out of control!
As you can see from this picture, I don’t tend to read a lot of fiction these days. This makes the book on the very top of the pile a bit intimidating.
I signed up to Blog a Penguin Classic, and this is the one I was assigned – Hell’s Angels by Hunter S. Thompson
Oddly enough I had rather been hoping for a “proper” classic, rather than a “modern” one. I feel as though I could have quite enjoyed a bit of Herman Melville or Alexandre Dumas. Now that I’ve looked at the website I see that I’ve read more of the Modern Classics than I’d thought – and I’m quite grateful that I didn’t end up with Jack Kerouac. I read On The Road
I’m trying to stay open minded about Hell’s Angels but the subject matter of drinking, violence and motorbikes really doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest.
I need to start reading it soon though – I only have a couple of weeks left before it’s time to submit my review for Penguin!
I think it’s so funny that the last book on the bottom of the pile is ‘What to do when I want to do everything’!
I’ve read that book so many times, and I still can’t figure out what I want to do except for “everything”! 😉
I think I need to get myself a copy! It’s actually a really inspiring pile of books you have there.
Camilla – I heartily recommend that book! I read it at least once a year, when I start to get myself into a headless chicken state, and there’s always something in there that I can try. 🙂
