Summer Booklist

I know, I spend more time making lists than I do actually doing the things on the list. In that regard this is more of a to-read-in-the-indefinite-future list for personal future reference than a summer reading list.

To preface, last Sunday I went to Moe's Bookstore and splurged on books because of my reading withdrawal this semester, although granted I already have a lot of books at home that I haven't read yet.

Mere Christianity - CS Lewis
The Art of Biblical Narrative - Robert Alter
The Iliad - Homer, Fagles translation
The Known World - Edward P. Jones
The English Patient - Michael Ondaatje
If On A Winter's Night A Traveler - Italo Calvino
(credit to olau for the last three book recs)

These, however, were part of a bigger booklist that I have no idea when I will get to, given my reading rate has slowed to a snail's pace in the last six months. Not including books I already have at home/the apartment that I haven't read yet. -_-''

EDIT: More book shopping!
