Searching for Lost Time.


Today has been an uneventful day. It's interesting when we can go through an entire day accomplishing absolutely nothing. How did I spend 12 hours of my day, well it consisted of abysmal television programing. As you can already guess, this could veer into a rant about the low quality of modern television. No, but that would be obvious, as an alternative I will name a few classic novels I have yet to read and could have read all today, had I taken the initiative. Here is a list of few great novels I should of been reading, instead of wasting my last few remaining brain cells on That 70's Show reruns.

1. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

2. The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler

3. East of Eden by John Steinbeck

4. I, Claudius by Robert Graves

5. The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

6. Herzog by Saul Bellow

7. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

8. The Road by Cormac McCarthy

9. Remembrance of Things Past by Marcel Proust

10. Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk
