I'm ashamed to say it is the recent release of the movie that has sparked my interest in the book.
Watership Down by Richard Adams
I have owed but not read this book for 10 years. I bought it with my allowance– that I earned doing way too much work for very little money– when I was 14.
Have owed but not read this book for 8 years. I bought this with money I earned with my first sorta job– teaching a couple of ballet classes a week at the company I danced with; one for older women, one for 4-6 year old girls.
Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said by Philip K Dick
I have owned but not read this book since I was 17. One of the first books I bought with money I made with my first real job, working at Atlanta Bread Company.
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
I know this is supposed to be her worst book but I still want to read it.
and Among Others by Jo Walton
A friend of mine read this recently and loved it.
I'm sad to say there are other books that I have yet to read after many years of ownership. Maybe someday I will have some free time to read them.
