Welcome
Every avid reader, even occasional readers, have The List. It looms over us all. Every time we enter a book store or a library, a friend or stranger recommends a book, our book club recommends one, or we see a book anywhere; we are reminded of our List.
What is this List?
The possibly very long or even short list of books we want to read that have been recommended to us or have just sparked our interest. So often we find we can never accomplish reading our List. The problem is the List keeps growing.
What is The List Book Club About?
It is supposed to help people to accomplish some of the reading on their List. You don't have to read a required book; you read the book that's next on your List. By posting a little or possibly long blurb here about the book you will be reading next or have just finished, you are making a commitment to others that you will finish that book. The List Book Club's hope is to make you accountable to someone else, even if they possibly are a stranger, so you have to read that book and make your way through your List.

What Do I Contribute?
If you haven't started your book, yet, then just leave a little post stating which book, its author, and why you wanted to read the book. If you've finished a book from your list, post another entry. This time, sum it up. Comment on the book if you want. Then tell the world what book is next on your list along with its author and the reason why it's on your List. Comment on others posts. Don't be mean. Encourage them in their reading. The point is so help others get through their lists and expand your list as well while readings about books other people have on their list.
If you need an example a post, check out my first one. It's rough, but not disgusting.

Last time, I posted I was working on reading The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss. I am still reading it, but making a lot more progress now that school is done.
The best part about sumnmer so far is how many books I’ve “read” so far. I am lucky to have gotten a job this summer even though I’ll only be working for 2 months or so. Unfortunately, it’s excessively boring. I have very little human interaction because my cubicle is far away from any office, and basically, my job is really simple and not very challenging. The good news about this is that I have 8 hours a day to listen to audio books!!! Yay!!! I’m slowly making my way through a list of books I really want to read.
Here’s what I’ve “read” so far:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson
I’m literally 6 tracks away from finishing this book! Too bad the ending is partly ruined for me because my parents insisted on listening to it in car on the way to the cabin. Oh, well.
My List for the Rest of the Summer:
The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest by Stieg Larsson
I won’t be able to listen to this one anytime soon. My parents have decided that we will listen to it during long family car rides. yay…
Then He Ate My Boy Entrancers by Louise Rennison
I read this series in High School, so it’ll be a little nostalgic for me to read this, again. I would also recommend this series to basically any teenage girl.
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Hot, Flat, and Crowded by Thomas Friedman
I’ve read enough excerpts from this book in school to finally read the entire thing.
The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien
That’s all I have so far, but I’ll probably add more later just because you go through audio books very quickly when you listen to them for 8 hours every day.
Good luck in all your reading adventures!!
