On the reading list



source


I'm such a seasonal reader.


Any Nathaniel Hawthorne book
= Fall. Words are soupy and thick and go well with tea.

Great Gatsby/Tree grows in Brooklyn
= Summer. Duh

Dickens = Winter, specifically Christmas. Sorry Dickens, you only wrote two Christmasish books but you're stuck there for me.

Secret Garden/Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe = Spring

Well this summer I'm bucking my own completelymadeup/makesnosense system and reading whatever I want. Try and stop me OCD.

Summer reading list

The Help Pretty sure I'm one of the last people on the planet to read this. Exciting.

The Psychopath Test
Just cause I have to know.

Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain Neurologic proof that my inability to keep a secret is the product of an internal, biological war? Yes, please and thankyou.

There's more where that came from. Anyone have a suggestion??

  3. I am definitely a seasonal reader, too, and I'm not sure why.

    I'm wondering about The Psychopath Test...could be interesting.

    I randomly found your blog. Hello!

  4. Hi Jordan! Seasonal reading is the best. Do it! Read the Psychopath test and tell me how it was. I think it's last on my mini list.
