It was quite hard to only choose 5 of the books from the Ultimate Reading List that I would like to read, but, here they are... Of course, there were many classisc on this list that I wanted to read, and as I am only permitted to choose 5 books, I will list these classics.
1. THE CATCHER IN THE RYE by J.D. Salinger - I've only ever heard good things about it. 2. THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL by Anne Frank - I've wanted to read it since my sister returned from a trip to the Anne Frank Museum. 3. FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury - I am curious to find out how people lived in a world with no books. 4. FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON by Daniel Keyes - I have seen the movie Charly and it was just beautiful. I must read this book. 5. THE PRINCESS BRIDE by William Goldman - The film adaption of this story is one of my favourite movies af all time and I think its about time I got around to reading this book.
So, there it is, my list. I hope that one day I will be able to truthfully say I have read all of those books. Someday...
