I would love to do "Solitude". Its been sitting on my shelf for a couple months, calling... calling .... calling....

How about the cosmic trilogy by C.S. Lewis.

"Faith is, at one and the same time, absolutely necessary and altogether impossible"
I don't know about a trilogy in one month on top of school and any other recreational reading I might be wanting to do.
...Also baby duck hat would be good for parties.
I would at least suggest part 1 and 2, they are both strongly connected, and aren't that long, or difficult, but they are amazing.

Are you talking about Perelandra (sp?) Or am I totally confused?
"There's nothing you can say that can't be sung."
I think he's talking about "Out of the Silent Planet" and "This Hideous Strength". I think Perelandra is the third in the series.

But that series. OK I wasn't sure. I've read the first two and you could do both they aren't very long and they're really good.
"There's nothing you can say that can't be sung."
The first book is "Out of the silent Planet", and the second is "Perelandra". The third book is "That hideous stength", The first two are more closely related to eachother, same cast and crew, where as the third mentions them in reference.
They are amzing books.

I have these to read, so these I will nominate:
