Four adventurous young 20-something bookworms (vague description is vague!) are reading some books together. Once upon a time we were all in school (read: college!) together. As we head out into the great unknown and spread ourselves across the globe, we go armed solely with our books and ideas.
The Artful Dodger- James Joyce, Jane Austen, 19th century literature, fantasy
The Idiot - Russian literature, fantasy
The Roaring Girl - Arthurian legends, Medieval literature, Renaissance literature, fantasy, historical fiction
The Queen of Hearts - Fantasy, young adult literature, children's literature, Ancient literature
Our next great adventure is a list of 10 books that we plan on reading aloud to each other because books are even better when read aloud. Ask me anything Submit

"Of course anyone who truly loves books buys more of them than he or she can hope to read in one fleeting lifetime. A good book, resting unopened in its slot on a shelf, full of majestic potentiality, is the most comforting sort of intellectual wallpaper."
