Summer Reading Part Deux

Hello again,
After my last post, I got to thinking. I got to thinking about what to read. I told you what I was reading and asked to tell me what you were reading. What about those that don't know what to read?

Great question. Every year there are lists and list of what people recommend others read. Summer reading seems to be the best time to catch up on the latest books. This is where I got to thinking. Why not read some old classics?

Yes, the old classics. These are books that have defined and shaped who we are. They are also the books that I consider as inspirations to every book written today. Read the list, you'll understand what I mean. 

The classics:
• 1984 by George Orwell
• Animal Farm by George Orwell
• Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
• Dracula by Bram Stoker
• Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
• Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
• Moby-Dick by Herman Melville
• One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
• Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
• The Chronicles of Narnia (all books) by C.S. Lewis
• The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
• Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

If you have read one or all or none give one or two of these a shot (again). Seriously, I occasionally re-read a classic to keep me in check and to remind me that I am no where near the level of these great authors. One day.

Thanks,
David

Hallo,  
Nach meinem letzten Beitrag habe ich zu denken. Ich muss darüber nachdenken, was zu lesen. Ich habe dir gesagt, was ich las, und fragte, mir zu sagen, was Sie gelesen haben. Was ist mit denen, die nicht wissen, was zu lesen?  

Gute Frage. Jedes Jahr gibt es Listen und Listen, was Menschen anderen empfehlen zu lesen. Sommerlese scheint die beste Zeit, um über die neuesten Bücher aufzuholen. Dies ist, wo ich zu Denken. Warum nicht ein paar alte Klassiker zu lesen? 

Ja, die alten Klassiker. Das sind Bücher, die definiert und geformt haben, wer wir sind. Sie sind auch die Bücher, die ich als Inspirationen zu jedem Buch heute geschrieben. Lesen Sie die Liste, werden Sie verstehen, was ich meine.

Die Klassiker:
• 1984 by George Orwell
• Animal Farm by George Orwell
• Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
• Dracula by Bram Stoker
• Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
• Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
• Moby-Dick by Herman Melville
• One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
• Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
• The Chronicles of Narnia (all books) by C.S. Lewis
• The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
• Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak

Wenn Sie gelesen haben, eine oder alle oder keine geben, ein oder zwei von ihnen ein Schuss (wieder). Im Ernst, ich gelegentlich wieder lesen einen klassischen mir in Schach zu halten und mich daran erinnern, dass ich nicht annähernd das Niveau dieser großen Autoren bin. Eines Tages.

Danke,
David
