All of these are books I either bought or were given to me. I couldn't wait to read them...at the time...but now...
CLASSICS:
Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse
Why don't I want to read these classics now?
Too heavy.
SCIENCE FICTION:
Way Station by Clifford D. Simak
Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson
City by Clifford D. Simak
Why don't I want to read these scifi books now?
I bought them to read last November for Science Fiction Month.
But Science Fiction Month is over.
Maybe next November?
Let's just call this...CURRENT EVENTS:
Democracy in Chains by Nancy McLean
The Origin of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt
Fascism by Madeleine Albright
Why don't I want to read these current events books now?
Whew. I'm not sure I can read about things at the same time I'm living them.
UPDATE: I did try Fascism, and it's a compelling read, not what I expected at all.
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
