I hope I'm doing this correctly! Sadly, none of these are for classes--they're just books I either want to read myself or want more people to be able to read.
In no particular order:"We Need to Talk About Kevin" by Lionel Shriver (thriller, deals with school shootings) "The Purity Myth: How America's Obsession with Virginity is Hurting Young Women" by Jessica Valenti (kind of self-explanatory, isn't it?) "Slob" by Ellen Potter (Young adult.) I think this comes out next week. I read an advanced review, and it looks like a really cute and funny children's/YA book.
"Girl Meets Boy" by Ali Smith (seems to be kind of a literary YA novel)."house of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danieluski (this might be really hard to scan in and would probably require a sighted validator, but it seems like a cool and creepy horror story. I don't know how feasible it would actually be, but I'm putting it on here because I can always ask, right?)
* The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart (YA again) * "Dead Girls" and "Dead Boys" by Richard Calder (two science fiction novels I have wanted to read for literally years after reading a book review of the first book some time ago). * "Pale Moon Rider" by Marsha Canham (historical romance, may be hard to find, so clearly is not a priority unless you can find a copy somewhere.)
I'd really like to read some of Nick Hornby's nonfiction. I think we've got some of his novels, but I'm especially interested in The Polysyllabic Spree.
Lastly for now, Tender Morsels by Margo Lannigan. I bought this from Fictionwise, so it would be really easy for me to proofread. It's another young adult boo,k, and is sweet and dark, like dark chocolate, and I want more people to embrace its awesomeness.
I'd be happy to proofread any of these, and intend to take up proofing books in general once finals are over next week.
