Reading Bucket List

The kite Runner

Khaled Hosseini

The book is more of a modern classic; I believe that it would be easier for me to read without all the olden language. Also many people have recommended this book to me saying that I would enjoy it, including my mother. I am also interested in trying out a new read.

Heart of Darkness

Joseph Conrad

It has been brought to my attention that this book is a very challenging read, and I am interested in taking on a literary challenge. Also I have heard that apart from the difficult literature, the book itself is actually very good. I also want to make my mommy very proud of me by reading a book such as this.

A Thousand Splendid Suns

Khaled hosseini

Even though I have to read the kite runner, I have a feeling based on the comments that I have heard from other people. So it is based on that though I believe that I will like this because it is written by an author that I might like. Also it sounds like it pertains to the war in Iraq which I find a very interesting topic.

The Hobbit

J.R.R. Tolkien

I am a huge lord of the rings fan. I have never read any of the actual books; I have only seen the movies. So I am interested in the prequel to the whole series, but I also want to see how the detail in the books differs from the detail in the movies.

The Poisonwood Bible

Barbara Kingsolver

From the description on the back of the book I was able to gather that the book is about a mission trip to the Congo that a family goes on. Being the religious person that I am I was automatically intrigued about the idea of a single family going a mission trip all by themselves to a remote part of the world. So I am quit interested to see how it plays out.

The shack

William p. Young

Both my father and mother have read this book and are constantly nagging me about needing to read it. After reading a couple reviews I have gathered that everyone who reads this book seems to grow closer to God and have their eyes opened. I for one want to determine this for myself, so I have resolved to finally read this all so inspiring book.

Thirst #4

Christopher Pike

I have read all of the other books in the series and have greatly enjoyed them, so I expect nothing less from this new addition the story. Also from my knowledge from the other books in the series I know that the author always brings up several controversial topics and attaches some deep thoughts to them, resulting in a very deep book.

`The Guardian

Nicholas Sparks

The book was first recommended to me by my mother, and like most books from her I laid it off at first. But now that I have actually looked into it, I see an interesting plotline that I might enjoy. Unfortunately my manliness fails me when it comes to loves stories, and it has come to my attention that this book is a very good love story that is filled with some tragedy.

Faithful Place

Tana French

What first caught my eye about this book was the fact that it was a finalist for the edgar award. Second I read the back and learned that this book was about young love and a detective. Being the sucker for a good love story that I am I simply cannot resist. 

Evercrossed

Elizabeth Chandler

As soon as I found out that this book was about the afterlife I was interested, because the last book that I read about the afterlife was fantastic. I also find it interesting to see different ideas about how people think the afterlife will be. I was also interested to see that a book about the afterlife was a New York Times best seller.
