While working checkout, I came across this very interesting book called The Story of Western Science by Susan Wise Bauer. I’ve heard of this author before because she is very popular with a lot of the parents I talk with, but I haven’t heard of this particular book before. After flipping through it, I quickly realized that I wanted to read all of the works the author listed as reference material. The books start with the first science texts and early scientific methods and go through space exploration and advanced scientific theories. This list is definitly geared towards lovers of science and math and probably less so for casual readers.…

Well, we all know this is a problem of mine….finding, posting and “committing” to huge reading lists…but I read love this one! I recently purchased Clifton Fadiman’s A New Lifetime Reading Plan. Loved it so, I posted this big ole list! I honestly doubt i’ll read all of these…but it gives me inspiration just having it on my site.

Well, I found another list. I keep finding all these cool lists around the web and feel like I have to add them to my blog….like a compulsion. Thankfully I see a lot of similarities with some of my other lists….so I wont have to add all 100 to my TBR. I liked this list mainly because I did see a bunch of unique books that I would probably not read without a prompt to do so. Not sure if i’ll read all of this list or all of my other lists, but it is very useful when I need inspiration and recommendations.

Mystery have been my favorite genre for as long as I remember & recently I’ve been really getting in classics books. The only problem is that most of the older books are soo hard to read because of the language and how things were said at that time. I really do like the older times though, so I decided to make myself a big list of historic mysteries! I have just randomly found these series to make this project, so I will discover these authors and stories as I get to them.

I came across this high school reading list at work (I work at the local library) and was so intrigued. Then I noticed that I personally have only read a handful of these books…appalling! So now I’m on a mission to read them all….you know, eventually. Thus is born a new reading challenge!
