I know not everyone celebrates Christmas, but in many countries, there is a big break coming up, and I thought I would share some good vacation-type reads. So put these on hold at the perpustakaan now to prepare for a long period of time for relaxation and good reading.
1. His Dark Materials oleh Philip Pullman
(The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass)-I read this series once over a break and it is fantastic. Deep and meaningful while still a quick read. The 2nd one is my favorite.
2. Anna Karenina oleh Leo Tolstoy
This is probably a challenge for a lot of people, but it's one of the most amazing buku I have ever read. I tackled this one over a natal break and finished in a little over a week. It's a good book to go for when anda have a long stretch of time to devote to it.
3. Inheritance series oleh Christopher Paolini
(Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr) This is a good chance to catch up before the 4th book comes out. (Anyone know when that is, btw?) People may laugh at this pick, but the buku are very easy reads and pretty addicting. You'll get into them quickly which is perfect for the holidays. anda want to relax after all!
4. 1984 oleh George Orwell
If you've been putting it off, now's your chance to read this timeless classic!
5. Watership Down oleh Richard Adams
I know a book about rabbits on a quest sounds ridiculous but this book is completely wonderful. You'll get through it in no time.
6. Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales
This book looks intimidating, but each of the stories are very short and they are magical. anda will cinta this. Plus, you've got time to kill ;)
7. Lord of the Rings oleh J.R.R. Tolkien
Now, I understand that this task is a little overwhelming, but at least try to finish one of these 3 buku over break. I promise it's still good even if anda spread it out. Tackle one this break, another in the spring and the last one over the summer.
8. The Girl of the Limberlost oleh Gene Stratton Porter
I completely loved this book when I was 15. It's a beautiful story. It has little to do with vacation, but it's a thick book, though a quick read once anda get into it.
9. Birth of Venus oleh Sarah Dunant
If anda like historical fiction, this one was very surprising to me in a good way. I usually don't go straight for the bestsellers, I'm lebih of a classics girl, but I'd say this is a good vacation book.
10. The Last Wife of Henry VIII oleh Carolly Erickson
Another historical fiction. I learned a lot about English history and about Henry VIII and his many wives. The buku starts when he's still married to his first wife. I read this book literally from cover to cover without setting it down. A great fast read.
So there anda have it. This is not a daftar of my favorit buku (though many do fit into that category) but instead a true daftar of buku I think anda will find very enjoyable over vacation. So challenge yourself and read as many as possible atau even just one! Let me know what anda think, I'd cinta to hear comments.
