Hello guys/gals. This is my first time here.
Here are the books I have (and have not read to due full time job/family/college)!
1984
Catch-22
The Iliad*
The Odessey
Anna The Brothers Karamazov
Grapes of Wrath
Black Boy
Cry Beloved Country
Invisible Man (Ellington)
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Uncle Tom's Cabin
Aenid
Divine Comedy
Don Quixote*
The Varieties of Religious Experience
City of God
Basic Writings of Neitzsche
Basic Writings of Aristotle*
Plato Complete Works (Hacket)*
Descartes Mediations/Other Writings
The Prince/Other Writings (Machiavelli)
My Bondage/My Freedom
Origin of Speices
Qu'ran & Bible
To Kill A Mockingbird
A Tree Grows In Brooklyn
Complete Works of Shakespeare
Histories (Herodotus)
I'm currently trying to read Don Quixote. I'm in the 2nd half. I started this at the beginning of the year, but it got interupted with school work and War of The Worlds, DaVinci Code (damn that was good), Up From Slavery, The Narrative (Fred Douglas). These are the only 4 books I've managed to read this year. I've dabbled in Plato & Aristotle reading a few of the works here and there. I've also got through half of the Iliad but may need some help through Spark Notes (a good book nevertheless).
My problem is this: I"VE LOADED UP TO MUCH!. How do you guys find time to read. I'm trying to get into the habit of reading for about 1-2 hours before bed time to knock out some more works. I may opt to put down Cervantes for now and knock out some shorter works.
I'd like to pick up about 10 more books, but I promised myself to knock out 75% of what I have before I buy another book.
