Literature
I feel like the books i have set to myself to read say a lot about me. What that is though, I’m not sure. So maybe if I list the books that I am going to be reading the next year or so (it’s a long list) people can tell me what my choices say about me.
All the books listed I own, I just have not read. 8 of them are ones that I am currently reading (denoted by *), though I think that in itself says something about me. Have a good laugh at the randomness and give your opinion.

Very well but why have the first in the C.S. Lewis space trilogy and not the others ? By those I mean Perelandra and the third and final installment being This Hideous Strength. A good list but I think those two are necessary to fully enjoy Out of the Silent Planet in my opinion.
Well, the list is all of books i physically posses. i will read the last 2 in the space trilogy series but i need to buy them first. but, i told myself i can buy more books til ive read all the ones i own
These are all great books. I love Mary Shelly. She was a total freak but I like that. Thoreau and Austen are also some of my favorites, as you know. I love that those books I gave you are in here! I hope you enjoy them!
