the litterary adventure begins



Being immobile is increasingly dull, so having been interested in literature, but never really having the time to read, I have decided to buy myself various books from Amazon and ebay. I will review each book as I finish it, hopefully making my time whilst incapacitated a little more productive.

The first order of books


I love books, so limiting myself was difficult, I bought a selection of books I'd heard of and a few that were new "wild cards" in the hope of discovering something new and amazing. I already owned a few books that I hadn't had time to read, I'll include these in the list of books I am due to read. As I go I'll strike out books I've read and hopefully by the time my leg is healed and I am due back to work I will have read all of my list, and possibly started a new list of books to read and review. I am aiming for 2-3 books a week once I have finished this essay, so I should be updating regularly.

  1. The Odyssey - Homer
  2. Canterbury tales - Chaucer
  3. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain
  4. His dark Materials series - Philip Pulman
  5. The Bell Jar - Silvia Plath
  6. Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad

  8. The Perks of Being a Wall flower - Stephen Chbosky

  10. Frankenstien - Mary Shelly
