The Favorites

I am going to start with the favorites of mine so I don't end up getting ahead of myself later.

I own somewhere in the vicinity of 200 books right now. My dream is to have my own personal library in my house, a room devoted to books.

Some of my favorite reads include:

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, The Return of Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of the Baskervilles, by Arthur Conan Doyle, all conveniently bundled together in an anthology I have.
The Harry Potter series, by J.K. Rowling
The Lord of the Rings series, by J. R. R. Tolkien
The Twilight series, by Stephenie Meyer
Bossypants, by Tina Fey
Heidi, by Johanna Spyri
The Lovely Bones, by Alice Sebold
The Giver, by Lois Lowry
Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson
Dracula, by Bram Stoker
The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak
The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, and The Lost Symbol, by Dan Brown
Black Beauty, by Anna Sewell
Memoirs of a Geisha, by Arthur Golden
Copper Sun, by Sharon Draper
Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini
Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and When You Are Engulfed in Flames, by David Sedaris
Assassin, by Ted Bell
One Floew over the Cukoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey
A Million Little Pieces, by James Frey
Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen

These are some of the stories that have stuck in my mind the most. I have a few books in my collection that I haven't read yet, and I will get to them in time. I am a college student, taking some pretty reading-heavy courses, so I find myself with less time to read for pleasure than I'd like, but I still manage to get through a book every week or two. I used to be able to finish a 300 page book in one sitting, easily, but time constraints have stopped that for now.

This blog will detail my endeavors and opinions as I march into a sea of literature. I will post each time I finish a book (and maybe more than that) to explain my thoughts on that book. Yes, I will let some spoilers slip! I will warn you, though, before that happens.

Thank you.
