I'm in

Summer is coming and I'm looking forward to indulging in some non-academic review of literature. My plan is to fulfill as many of the titles as I can with free downloads! So far I have the COUNT of Monte Cristo (a title and a place, but I'll be using this as a title). TREASURE ISLAND is a place-titled classic I have never read. But I like the pirate stuff (O'Brien especially) so I am looking forward to this one. I may go with Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the SEA, but I am looking for something better. For more recent texts I am thinking about The BRIDGE (musical term), the Obama biography, and The ORCHARD Keeper (plants), Cormac McCarthy's first book.
