Reading list

Check Amazon if you want to find out about any of the books. Also, feel free to make suggestions and tell me where I should stick them into the list. I’m not sure how long it will take me to get through this, and I’m assuming I’ll amend the list as I go along, sticking in titles I want to read sooner than others. One goal I have is to have the Twilight series and Harry Potter series read before their respective movies are released (by the way, I have very very low expectations for these series — I’m sure I’ll blog about it in the future after I’ve read them). Anyway, I think it’ll be possible to read them before their movies come out with the use of audiobooks. Another goal is to read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy (again) about six months to a year before The Hobbit comes out. So… Here’s the list:
