I don’t know if I really like reading books. But I am required to love/like reading books because I’m a pseudo-literature-major. So here is my 2011 book wish list.

(Sorry, I’m too lazy to add pictures.)

1. The Newspaper Designer’s Handbook by Tim Harrower (6th Edition) – I love newspapers. I also love reading well-designed newspapers. I just want to learn more about designing newspapers. I heard that a new edition of this book will come out in 2012 so I might as well wait for that. But if you’re going to give me one, please do so as soon as possible (Yes, the current edition is fine.).
2. The Best of Newspaper Designer by Society of News Design (31st Edition) – I think I want to start a career in news designing so I really need this book for inspiration.
3. Jane Eyre (Penguin Classics) by Charlotte Bronte – It’s a shame that I haven’t read Jane Eyre. I want to read it. But I don’t have a copy. Plus the Penguin edition of the book is quite expensive.
4. Anna Karenina (Penguin Classics) by Leo Tolstoy – I got a copy of Anna Karenina from my grandfather’s library. But I’m not a fan of the translation.
5. Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not) (Penguin Classics) by Jose Rizal – I wasn’t able to appreciate Noli Me Tangere when I read it about six years ago.
6. El Filibusterismo (Penguin Classics) by Jose Rizal
7. First Voyage Around the World (1519-1522): An Account of Magellan’s Expedition by Antonio Pigafetta

That’s all for now.
