Why I am Starting a Blog

The other day I decided to make a bucket list. I have all these things that I've always wanted to do, and you never know which day will be your last and I figured by putting this out so everyone can see it, I would be more likely to actually follow through. This quote is what really prompted me to make a bucket list:

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'WOW, What a ride!'" ~ Anonymous.

100 Books to Read

This is my list of at least 100 books to read. I have read some of them before, but I want to read them again. Most of the one's I've already read, I had to read for school, so I thought if I re-read them on my own, I might get more out of them. A couple are books that have been on my worst book list for forever, so I thought reading them again might change my mind. This is what I have so far:

1. The Lord of the Rings
2. Pride and Prejudice
3. The Da Vinci Code
4. Memoires of a Geisha
5. The Power of One
6. The Hobbit
7. Wuthering Heights

9. The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
10. The Time Traveller's Wife
11. Catch-22
12. Gone With the Wind
13. Dear John
