Hello Bookworms,
Meera and Arpit have decided to go on a ‘Bookish Journey’. In this journey they will Kill a Mockingbird, visit the Indian camp, buy The Lottery ticket, and visit the barber's shop for a decent Haircut.

Under the Buddy Read Challenge of October month, Honourable Moderators of this group paired me with Ms. Meera, so we are starting our journey.

Interested people may join us.

We’ve decided that not only just novels, but we’ll also read some short stories.
So we are going to read:

Novels

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee(Currently Reading)

Boy's Life by Robert McCammon

Swami and Friends by R.K. Narayan(Done)

Lord of the Flies by William Golding (Done)

Short Stories

The Lottery by Shirley Jackson (Done)

Indian Camp by Ernest Hemingway (Done)

A Clean Well Lighted Place by Ernest Hemingway

The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde(Done)

Haircut by Ring Lardner

Decided so far...

Recommendations are most welcome.
