It’s Tuesday again which means time for another round of Top Ten Tuesday; I like joining in on this meme because I have a set topic to work with. Top Ten Tuesday is a book blogger meme that is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and this week the theme is: Books I Really Want To Read But Don’t Own Yet. I’m looking forward to going through my wishlist and picking ten books. So here we go;
- Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski
- Mysterious Skin by Scott Heim
- The Dream Life of Sukhanov by Olga Grushin
- The Librarian by Mikhail Elizarov
- A Meal in Winter by Hubert Mingarelli
- Candide by Voltaire
- The Diary of a Nobody by George Grossmith
- Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine
- & Sons by David Gilbert
- The Parrots by Filippo Bologna
I am impressed that you narrowed the list down to 10. I’d just say all of them, don’t make me decide.
it was a hard choice
I just started The Parrots! So far, so good.
I really need to get that book
At one point I had a really nice hardcopy of Mysterious Skin that I got cheap on a remainder table. Unfortunately I wasn’t a big fan of his writing. Treasure Island!!! was fun. I read Candide in college and then again about 10 years ago. The good thing about that one is you can find good reading copies for cheap. A much assigned, but little kept book.
I really enjoyed the movie, so I would like a chance to read Mysterious Skin. I’m struggling to find Treasure Island!!! in Australia and might have to resort to an evil online store. I suspect Candide will come up for assigned reading sometime in my studies, hopefully.
