Author Comments:
These are the books that I own, but have not read. They are in no particular order.
I have read only two of these, and both found their way onto my list of   All-Time Favourite Books,   so I can recommend both very highly:
Troilus and Criseyde - Geoffry Chaucer
The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck
Professor,
Thanks for the recommendations.
These are in the list of books I actually have on hand, in other words, own. Did you see the list of books I have read?
I started a reading jag about an year and half ago. I am nearly forty years old, and never went to college. I decided that I didn't have the time, energy, or money to go to school, so I am doing what I consider the next best thing; read.
What am I reading? Everything, is the easy answer. Classics, History, Biographies, and such. Won't have a sheep skin on the wall when I am done, but I should have one heck of a library.
