Literature I Like

While I’m not going to post my whole biography here, I’ll give you a fair low-down on various things in lists, because I’m actually lazy.

Favourite Writers (curse my lack of fellow female writers, but that’ll change, I promise!):

Some writings I adore in no particular order (some by authors not mentioned in my faves):

The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald)
Night Shift (King)
Breath, Eyes, Memory (Danticat)
The Tell-tale Heart (Poe)
Persuasion (Austen)
The Harry Potter Series (Rowling)
The Hobbit (Tolkien)
The Kite Runner (Hosseini)
Norwegian Wood (Murakami)
The Waste Land (Eliot) (p.s. I also lost my copy of Eliot’s selected poetry, and I’m kicking myself for it)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (Kesey)
Solid Geometry (McEwan)
A Song of Ice and Fire series (Martin)

Books I really want to read (but am kind of reluctant to, and I’ll add more to this list in the future):

Texts that I’m on the fence with (I’ll go into detail about why in upcoming posts):

Works I think are overrated, or simply roll my eyes at, but don’t really hate (OMG I’m a traitor! Sue me!):

Romeo and Juliet (Shakespeare) (flashback to my high school years)
The Fault in Our Stars (Green) (motherhenna’s tumblr post on this book sums up my sentiments)
Jane Eyre (Bronte)

Books I absolutely have a hatred for:

Now how can I truly hate books? Some have made me completely outraged, like the ones mentioned above. I mean, I’ve said that I hated them because I’m not a fan of them, yet I read them anyway (some I had to for study, others I read just to be on board the hype train), or because I still harboured feelings that the book gave me.

Genres I read/write/watch:

Anyway, that went longer than expected. Congratulations on reading this far! I guess that’s all for now, and I’ll see you around!
