Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted over at
The Broke and the Bookish. This week's top ten is:
Top Ten Books I Resolve To Read in 2011.
- Through a Glass Darkly by Kathleen Koen - A classic historical fiction novel that has been on my shelf forever.
- Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf- I read To the Lighthouse and A Room of One's Own last year and it only possessed me to read more of Woolf's work.
- Les Misérables by Victor Hugo - A book I'm rather afraid of, but want to tackle.
- A Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood - After reading Alias Grace last year, I am rather eager to dive into Atwood's work.
- The Madwoman in the Attic by Susan M. Gilbert and Susan Gubar - Another book that's been on my shelf for ages.
- Gilded Youth by Kate Cambor - Ditto as above.
- Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke - Another intimating book, but I think I'd get to this one before Les Mis.
- According to Jane by Marilyn Brant - I won this back in '09 and should probably get to reading it.
- His Excellency by Joseph J. Ellis - A short book about George Washington that I've had for a few years. There's really no excuse as to why I haven't read this.
- Both The Silver Chair and The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis - The only Narnia books I have yet to read.

You're in for a treat with Through A Glass Darkly....I haven't heard a person yet who read it and didn't absolutely love it! It's a keeper!
I really want to read A Handmaid's Tale this year as well. I loved Cat's Eye by Atwood! Also should probably get to Mrs. Dalloway since it has been sitting on my shelf unread for an embarrassingly long amount of time.
I'm a huge Narnia fan. Go. Go. Finish the series!
I think I missed the same two Narnia books when reading the series but it was that long ago that I might as well read the full series again; something which I intend to do but I didn't think to put on my TTT post.
I read Mrs Dalloway for my degree and was slightly ambivalent about it, but that's probably because I HAD to read it for class, I hope you enjoy it, and all your other TTT books in 2011 :)
I've only read Lion, Witch and Wardrobe; I really need to get the others read.
Here's my list of books I will read in 2011: http://readerbuzz.blogspot.com/2011/01/top-ten-books-i-resolve-to-read-in-2011.html
