Allow me to apologize for the fact that I have not posted anything in over a month. Things got hectic and I was away from the library…which is no excuse, I know, but still, that’s how it stands.
I have also decided something. I have grown weary of modern British literature and am therefore going to the very end of the list and working my way backwards for a bit.
Thus, the next book will be Aesops Fables by Aesopus. I am quite excited for this as I know the stories, but I’ve never actually read them. Let us embark on the continuation of my journey!

Hey Ira,
Do you think you could share a selection of the books from the list that you plan to or want to read? I know you posted a link to the book, but I’m curious as to what’s on your own reading list.
Also, this lit student is full of suggestions.
Sure! Here’s a list of several books on the list that I’m looking forward to reading, in no particular order:
1. Metamorphases by Ovid
2. Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott
3. A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
4. Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell
5. I, Robot by Isaac Asimov
6. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
7. 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke
8. The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
9. White Teeth by Zadie Smith
10. Elizabeth Costello by J.M. Coetzee
11. Candide by Voltaire
This is just a small selection of the books I can’t wait to read. I would love to hear your suggestions!
Ira
