David Bowien lempikirjoja sekä 1001-albumia hakuteos, jonka kansikuvaksi on oikeutetusti valittu kuva Bowien Low-levyn kannesta. |
Reader, why did I marry him -blogissa avattiin lukuhaaste, jossa luetaan Bowien suosikkiteoksia hänen muistoaan kunnioittaaksemme. Lista sadasta Bowien lempikirjasta on poimittu Kirjasampon sivulta. Huomasin että alkuperäisestä sadan kirjan listasta puuttui 25 teosta ja jäljitin alkuperäisen listan täältä. Nämä kaikki sata kirjaa on listattu alapuolella (kirjan mukaan aakkosjärjestyksessä). Bowiella oli ilmeisen hieno kirjamaku, joka ei taida sekään olla yllätys.
Koska rakastan listoja ja rakastan Bowieta, aion ehdottomasti olla mukana haasteessa. Tähän mennessä olen lukenut listalta 11 kirjaa. Niihin kuuluvat muun muassa suuret suosikkini Bulgakovin Saatana saapuu Moskovaan, Orwellin 1984 sekä Watersin Fingersmith. Seuraavana aion jatkaa noilla kuvassa näkyvillä. Kaikki kolme kuuluvat myös 1001-listalle.
