Description
Top Ten Tuesday is a weakly meme hosted by . Every week a different topic comes up and bloggers list their top ten books in that category. I love a good list...I've always said that. That's practically my catchphrase.
Top Ten Books I Can't Believe I've Never Read!
This week we had to choose a past 'Top Ten Tuesday' that we didn't do the first time around and I went for this one! There are way more than ten but these are the ones that I am most embarrassed to admit.
10.
Title: The Hobbit
Author: J.R.R Tolkein
I have this one on my shelf, as well as the graphic novel version. I really want to read it before the movie comes out so I will get round to it in the next...couple of years.
9.
Title: Brave New World
Author: Aldous Huxley
I adore the cover and the premise of the novel. I really need to read it but I never seem to have the motivation to pick it up.
8.
Title: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Author: Ken Kesey
A classic I have never even picked up. Shameful.
7.
Title: To Kill a Mockingbird
Author: Harper Lee
I think I might have read this one but I can't actually remember any of it. Re-read definitely in order!
6.
Title: City of Bones
Author: Cassandra Clare
I feel like everyone has read this book/series and I really want to! I have hard copy and Kindle version so I really have no excuse!
5.
Title: Sense and Sensibility
Author: Jane Austen
The reason I haven't read this one is that I saw the movie when I was very young and have seen it many times since, so I feel I know the story too well to be bothered reading the book. I will though. One day.
4.
Title: Northern Lights/ The Golden Compass
Author: Philip Pullman
This trilogy is one of the most loved and most widely acclaimed series of all time and I have no idea why I haven't read it. I think I tried to when I was younger and didn't get too far. I will definitely read this in the future.
3.
Title: The Catcher in the Rye
Author: J.D Salinger
No excuse. Just...effort.
2.
Title: 1984
Author: George Orwell
The ultimate dystopian and I have always neglected it. Again, just shameful.
1.
Title: Lolita
Author: Vladimir Nabokov
This is the one I'm most ashamed of myself for not reading. This is because I love Nabokov and can't believe I haven't read his most famous novel. ONE DAY.
Now all my book shame is out in the open! Let me know what yours would be!
I feel the same about a lot of the books on that list. I haven't read more than half of them. You should definitely give City of Bones, the Hobbit, and the Golden Compass a try though. They're all pretty much amazing. I'm hoping to read 1984 this summer since it's the dystopian craze.
ReplyThis post a good one and I would love to share it if you like my and Blog.
Yes I agree with you and our school people have found this and related blog very useful in their research as and find it very useful in academic research they are required to do.
Many thanks for sharing this great list of books with us. I am glad to read this interesting blog about Top Ten Books to read. In school, some of them I have read. I am sure such blogs I will get to see more. I provide help at Personal Statement Folks and I would like to share this book list with my students. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Happy to read this Books list. I will share this top ten books list with my college students and teachers who provide to us. Thanks for sharing it.
I have read "Kill a Mockingbird" is 7th book of this list. I really like that format and writing style of Harper Lee. Great and amazing article written on top ten Tuesday books. I liked reading it and I will pass this to our team of teachers providing writing and see what they have to say on this. Appreciate such articles.
I've read a few of them and they are actually some of my favorites. There's always time to get to the classics, though. I just read a handful a year to catch up on what I didn't get to read in high school. I haven't done my Top Ten Tuesday this week, yet, but I did this topic a few weeks ago: http://meganm922.blogspot.com/2012/05/top-ten-tuesdaybooks-i-cant-believe-ive.html
ReplyI have read "The Hobbit" is 10th book of this list. It is really Great book. I provide writing service such as to students and I appreciate such way of writing articles and share this top ten Tuesday books with them. I'm getting excited about this kind of beneficial information of your stuff in the future.
Thanks for sharing this great list of books with us. I am a tutor working with leading dissertation consultancy knows as and I am about to share this with my college students there and see what they have to say.
The Hobbit, 1984, and To Kill a Mockingbird are all AMAZING - they're all some of my all-time favorites, To Kill a Mockingbird especially. I've read Brave New World as well - although I didn't love it as a novel, it was very thought-provoking, which made it an interesting read. Some of the others on this list are books I've been meaning to read, too.
ReplyI haven't read a lot of the books on your list either! I actually picked the same topic to rewind with today, but Infocused on classic middle grades and YA titles. Don't worry I feel some major book shame
ReplyToo!
Oh, I haven't read Lolita either, so that would be my shameful confession! You must read To Kill a Mockingbird, I promise you won't regret it:) Great Top Ten:)
ReplyI've read 6 of these, but I haven't read Lolita and I would really like to, I've taken it out the library before now, but never opened it! I have never read any of Tolkien's work, either, even though they're some of my brother's favourite books and I'm sure I would enjoy them if I put the time in. Right now I live not far from where Tolkien spent his childhood, which makes me think I should at least give them a go!
ReplyI haven't read quite a few on your list either... including 1984 and Jane Austen. Read the Hobbit last year and personally, didn't enjoy it. Read To Kill a Mockingbird please, it's one of my faves!
ReplyI'd like to read The Hobbit, too, before the movie comes out. City of Bones is definitely worth a read; I love The Mortal Instruments series.
ReplyOh you should definitely read The Mortal Instruments Series. I actually didn't like it at first and found the book a little hard to get into. But I made myself sit down and read the first one and became hooked. Great Picks :)
ReplyGreat list! I did my post on the same topic and we've got several of the same books on our lists. You should definitely reread To Kill A Mockingbird if you can't remember it. It's an incredible book.
ReplyThanks for sharing!
I lot of these are books I haven't read or can't remember reading, I think some of them I read in school. I did enjoy the Northern Lights series and I enjoyed the Mortal Instruments at the time but my interest in them has decreased. I think my list would be lots of classics, I feel like I SHOULD read them but YA is much more appealing and quicker to get through!
ReplyGreat list! I haven't read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest either, but my husband says that it's awesome! I loved To Kill a Mockingbird when I read it in high school, but I'd almost like to reread that one with adult eyes. But then there's just so many books on my TBR that I almost don't want to waste my precious reading time rereading a book that I've already read! Hee hee.
ReplyHere's my TTT: http://writergrrlreads.blogspot.ca/2012/06/top-ten-bookish-pet-peeves.html
The first four books on this list are among my favorite! I haven't read Lolita either, though.
ReplyOMG me too! So many good ones I must read too!
ReplyLolita, 1984, Catcher in the Rye, Sense & Sensibility, Brave New World, and The Hobbit.
Coincidentally the only one on your list I *have* read is The Hobbit! And I totally recommend. It's a much faster read than The Lord of the Rings, I think because it was intended more for children in its day? I thought it was charming. I've had the same problem with Sense and Sensibility, it's the only Austen novel I haven't read yet and for the same reason. Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, Pride and Prejudice, and Persuasion I read before I saw any adaptations and of course now they're my favorites. Emma I saw the adaptation of first and sort of struggled through it, and that's why I'm guessing I won't enjoy S&S as much. It's a shame.
ReplyAnd Lolita is one I've been meaning to read for ages! I've never read any Nabokov. I haven't read To Kill A Mockingbird either, which is so embarrassing considering that I always love my classics.
Gosh, half of these books I haven't read myself either! SHOCKING.
ReplyThough I do have a few of those books in my possession, so that should be rectified soon.
Just came across your blog, and really glad that I did.
Definitely becoming a follower.
Happy Reading
Emma

There was a time, when I was having real trouble dealing with sudden uncertainties. However, with short term loans by Oyster Loans, I found a way out of the crisis. Open to almost all the applicants, these loans are indeed the best alternative to resolve temporary monetary crisis.
