2015 TBR Pile Challenge
My second and final book challenge this year will be the 2015 TBR Pile Challenge. The goal is to read 12 books that have been on your shelf for at least an entire year. A noble ambition, I think, so here’s my proposed list:
- A House of Pomegranates by Oscar Wilde
- For Whom the Bell Tolls by Earnest Hemingway
- The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells
- The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler
- The Captain and the Enemy by Graham Greene
- Atonement by Ian McEwan
- Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee
- Stephen Fry in America by Stephen Fry
- The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi
- A Hat Full of Sky by Terry Pratchett
- French Lessons by Peter Mayle
- The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
Alternates:
- Without Feathers by Woody Allen
- In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson

Loved War of the Worlds even if it is a bit dated at this point, sort of like The Martina Chronicles but still amazing.

I still haven’t read The Martian Chronicles either, actually! There’s so much great classic science fiction out there.
