(taking an aside from all the heavy posts of the last few months…)

I saw this graphic on facebook and was super excited about it. I love to read. I love to share what I read and I love getting new ideas for what should be on my current stack. This provides a great challenge.

This looks right up my alley to diversify my reading list and, perhaps, keep me focused. So based the categories above, I have created my list:

• A book I’ve been meaning to read: Daring Greatly-Brene Brown
• A book published this year: The Teenage Brain-Frances E. Jensen, MD
• A book from a genre you don’t usually read: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy-Douglas Adams
• A book from your childhood: The Hobbit-JRR Tolkien  (I’ve actually never read it.)
• A book your mom loves: Return of the Native-Thomas Hardy
• A book originally published in a different language: The Odyssey-Homer (oy.)
• A book that everyone has read but you: The Lowland-Jhumpa Lahiri (I’m totally cheating, I really want to read this and I’m late to the party.)
• A book you chose because of the cover: No Mud, No Lotus-Thich Nhat Hanh
• A book by your favorite author: The Sandcastle Girls-Chris Bohjalian
• A book recommended by someone with great taste (Virginia M!): The Secret History-Donna Tarte
• A book you should have read in high school: Their Eyes Were Watching God-Zora Neale Hurston
• A book that’s currently on the bestseller list: All the Light We Cannot See-Anthony Doerr

I tried to build this entire list with books I already had on my to-read shelves at home. I only needed to buy two!! (Yes, Mom, I have a library card….but I like to touch the books forever!)

What would be on your list? Want to do a virtual book club? (Or if you’re local, a wine based one?)
