READ A BOOK

READ A BOOK

I am such a reader that if I got paid for it, I would be an extremely rich person. Unfortunately, I am not paid, but that doesn’t stop me. Nothing stops me unless my Kindle runs out of juice.

Guess what? I just came across a list of books that one can read in ONE DAY. This is fantastically convenient for busy people. Are you busy?

Then let me help you:

  • The Invention of Morel, by Adolfo Bioy Casares, translated by Ruth L. C. Simms
  • Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck
  • Animal Farm, by George Orwell
  • The Hound of the Baskervilles, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
  • The Postman Always Rings Twice, by James M. Cain
  • Passing, by Nella Larsen
  • The Stranger, by Albert Camus
  • Pedro Paramo, by Juan Rulfo, translated by Margaret Sayers Peden
  • The Awakening, by Kate Chopin
  • In Watermelon Sugar, by Richard Brautigan
  • The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, by James Weldon Johnson
  • Death in Venice, by Thomas Mann, translated by Henry Heim
  • We Have Always Lived in the Castle, by Shirley Jackson
  • A Single Man, by Christopher Isherwood
  • Cane, by Jean Toomer
  • Giovanni’s Room, by  James Baldwin
  • O Pioneers! by Willa Cather
  • Bonjour Tristesse, by Francoise Sagan, translated by Irene Ash
  • Billy Budd, Sailor, by Herman Melville

I have not myself read many of these, but I very much appreciate this handy list.
