Besides knitting I’ve been doing this:

reading like a maniac.

These are, or rather were, most of the books on my “to read” shelf of my bookcase. I had misplaced Wuthering heights (Emily Brönte), False Memory (Dean koontz) and The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul (Douglas Adams), before I took this picture and they’re therefore not on it. They’re still on the list though.

The top three are a series I’ve been collecting for a while now. They’re called Chancellor’s classics and I got them at my local bookshop at about 5 euros a book. They also look absolutely lovely. These are the only three that I have though and now it appears they’re no longer being published. The other name under which I’ve found these books are Miniature Gramercy Classics at Barnes & Noble, but I believe these are also out of commission since the sellers all claim to have no new editions.

They are Far from the Maddening Crowd (Thomas Hardy), The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde) and Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brönte).  I’ve read the first few chapters of all three, but never got any further due to homework or falling asleep ;). (Although I do remember reading more of Dorian Gray, but I can’t remember finishing it)

The problem is that though I want to read all these books I know that I’ll eventually buy more before I’ve worked my way through these. I’ve got about 12 books on my to buy list, not to mention all the school, or rather university, books I have to read as well.

It’s going to be a book year, I can tell. Thank the heavens I got new bookcases.
