Book List for Spring Semseter 2009

Since I've hardly read anything of "substance" (with the huge exception of Harry Potter, which will always be my favorite book) I've decided to maximize my reading experiences this semester by alternating reading my cool, awesome, young adult and "modern" fiction books (aka cool, interesting books that I really want to read) with "classics" (aka books that are probably good and I should read, but just aren't as interesting as vampires and wizards and the like.)

Here are the books I plan to read in the next few months:

"Modern Fiction":
Specials - Scott Westerfeld
Extras - Scott Westerfeld
Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk
Veronika Decides to Die: A Novel Of Redemption - Paulo Coelho
Thirteen Reasons Why - Jay Asher
The Space Between Us - Thrity Umrigar
The Sookie Stackhouse Series - Charlaine Harris
The Luxe Series - Anna Godbersen
The Wicked Series - Gregory Maguire

"Classics":
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
The Scarlet Letter - Nathaniel Hawthorne
A Tale of Two Cities - Charles Dickens
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
The Turn of the Screw - Henry James
The Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka
The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath
Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen

Feel free to send me any suggestions or anything. My goal is to read as many books from as many different genres as I can.
