I'm doing the Modern Mrs. Darcy 2016 Reading Challenge. The idea is to read 12 books in 12 different categories in 12 months. Here are the categories and my picks for each:
_ a book published this year
(I haven't picked this one out yet because the year is just getting started.)
_ a book you can finish in a day
Very Good Lives: The Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination, by J.K. Rowling
_ a book you've been meaning to read
The Romantic Generation, by Charles Rosen
_ a book recommended to you by your local librarian or bookseller
Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything, by Joshua Foer
_ a book you should have read in school
Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl
_ a book chosen for you by your spouse, partner, sibling, child, or BFF
The Princess and the Goblin, by George MacDonald
_ a book published before you were born
The Name of the Rose, by Umberto Eco
_ a book that was banned at some point
Where the Sidewalk Ends, by Shel Silverstein
+
Harriet the Spy, by Louise Fitzhugh
_ a book you previously abandoned
Spiritual Writings, by Soren Kierkegaard
_ a book you own but have never read
Kant and the Platypus: Essays on Language and Cognition, Umberto Eco (This is also a book that intimidates me.)
