So I've made my book list based on what I have. Here goes:
[snip-snip-snip]
It leaves another eight or so King books to read, but I'll finally make a dent on my collection. Thoughts?
King is good stuffs. I started on him early, though mostly I don't read any fiction, and it wouldn't be him if I did.
The Gulag and thre archipelago is heavy, both in content and context. Lots of torture, pain, and suffered indifference. Got real thick and long at times.
Instead of just Dante's Divine Comedy, get the whole set. It is really one of three books. The other two are really more spiritual works, but its worth considering them as they all tell the story, as opposed to just one third. Also, get the one in prose instead of the easy read ones and perhaps lookinto his life a bit. Much of the book is based upon his life.
The New Testament is long and quite thick if you're not into doing so. Most of them today give you, in the back, a 365 day plan to reading through the bible. Its expected to take a bit of time. Also, King James version is by far considered the most faulty translation.
Umm, I've read a good deal of the books listed, but got nothing to say, except I really liked the Long Walk. It was one of the first ones I read by King and the visuals could easily resound within me.
*Tommy Knockers is long, but overall a good story. A little weak at the end, imo, but well enough.*
I suppose I don't have an official list yet. . . I couldn't really plan my next book anyway, because I read at my whim. Probably philosophical/theological, though. But I have wanted to get back into Learning Latin. . .
