Though it still hasn't quite hit me yet, I have successfully completed my undergraduate degree in nursing. Finals are over, the grades are mostly in, and I'm still studying. "What?!? Why?" might be some questions you're asking yourself. Well, I still have the NCLEX or the National Council Licensing EXam in front of me. That aside, I am going to finally feel okay in reading books I want to read. I'm done! I'm free! No more 50 page reading textbook reading assignments or incredibly academic research papers to read. So, now that I have all this time on my hands I'm searching frantically to find ways to fill it. I feel like reading is a worthy use of time as it is intellectually inspiring and informative. Of course that depends on what you are reading. As I've stated in previous posts I enjoy Fantasy/Sci-Fi type novels, but I have been known to dabble in the classics. So, the reason for this post is two-fold. I wanted to let everyone in the world know that I'm done with my bachelor's degree (check). Secondly, I would like to get recommendations on what books you thought were fantastic that I should read. Hold nothing back, give me what you got!

ReplyDeleteIf you're a die-hard Tolkien fan i.e. actually enjoyed the Silmarillion... read "The children of Hurin" by JRR (aka Christopher) Tolkien
