10 Good Things on a Monday!

10 Good Things on a Monday is a weekly meme I am doing dedicated to every person's compulsive list-writing.  Every Monday we are going to make a list of 10 things that will cheer us up and help us tide over the whole week.

Here's how it works:

1. Think of a particular group of good things you want to make a list on, does not necessarily have to be about books, e.g. your current book wish list, or your favorite book foods (you know, foods you love to eat while reading, if you're like me), or your favorite girly names, whatever you can think of, as long as it makes you feel good.
2. If you have no ideas for a list, you can always visit my blog post to check out my theme for that week and you can take a cue from my list.
3. Post your list on your blog, grab that cute ARGH button above and put it on your post too, so we'd know you're doing this meme.
4. Leave the link for your post on my own 10 Good Things post for the week, if you see others doing it, comment too and let's share our good things with everybody.
5. Everybody goes through the whole week happy!

My 10 Good Things for this week:  Must-read books that I have yet to read

Because it's now officially 2011, I decided that one of my New Year's Resolution would be to read more. It might seem that I have been reading a lot, why would I put up a blog dedicated to books anyway, but really, there are a lot of books out there that most people are supposed to have read but I haven't. When you get to my list, you'll see what I mean.

So here goes:

1. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

2. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

3. Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway

4. Animal Farm by George Orwell

5. Atonement by Ian McEwan

6. The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins

7. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

8. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte - Already done with this!  Read my review of this book.

9. A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

10. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

You're probably gasping or holding your hand to your mouth, or your jaws have fallen to the floor, eyes bulging. I know, I'm horrible, but really, I haven't read them, and I will try to read them this year. I promise.

even ARGH is shocked!

If you have any other suggestions, you may also write them on the comments below.

A Happy New Year to everybody!
