The Introverted Bookworm: Books I Plan to Read Over the Summer | Part One.

Now that I'm nearing the end of the book I'm currently reading, it's time for me to decide what book to move onto next. And as I looked upon all the books in my room I have yet to read, I decided to save that decision for another day -or at the very least postpone it for a few hours- and make a post to share with you guys the books I have yet to read, and aim to get read by the time I start uni again in October.

My last bookworm post was rather long and only covered three books. I have a lot more than three books that I plan to read this summer, so I thought I would break this post down into two. In this first part I plan to just cover the 'classic novels' that I plan to read, and in my second post I will cover the other novels I have lined up, as well as the psychology books that are currently sat on my self, calling my name.

First up from the classics is Dracula. I've always been in to creepy, quirky, Halloweeny things. I know that isn't the best description, but hopefully you get what I mean. When I was little I used to watch a lot of cartoons, just like any other little kid would. But unlike some little kids back then, on top of the usual cartoons like Scooby-Doo, Wacky Races, Tom and Jerry and The Powerpuff Girls, I also used to watch the cartoon series adaptations of Beetlejuice and The Addams Family. I think my exposure to those shows and my enjoyment of them, had some involvement in my love for spooky, Halloween characters and stories. So of course it makes perfect sense for me to read Dracula -I read Frankenstein a few months back too.

I've also got The Picture of Dorian Gray waiting to be read. Which I guess could also be related to my 'Halloweeny interests'. I'm basing that statement on the fact my mum saw the film when it first came out and said it freaked her out and she screamed a lot. Other than that all I really know is that Dorian Gray's portrait ages but he does not; so I'm looking forward to reading it and finding out what else happens.





And last but not least, for the classics, I also plan on reading Moby Dick. I'm not really sure why I decided to buy this book. It's always been a book I've been 50/50 about reading, but something in me decided to buy it when I had a little book haul in Waterstones. I'm looking forward to reading this, but I'm thinking of saving it for my holiday in August. That's purely because it's the thickest unread book I have and if I can make it last a week it mean I won't have to weigh my suitcase down with any more books. The only annoying thing is last night on The Chase -a British quiz/game show- they ruined the ending for me by making it one of the questions.

So those are the 'classics' I plan to read over my summer break. If any of you have read them I'd love to hear what you thought. And if there is a book you think I'd like based on these, then please do let me know.
