Wow! That's a hell of a list! It makes me feel bad about the lonely books on my to read shelf that are crying out to be read too, hehe. Good luck getting through them all! I've probably got about the same amount on my list, but I'm leaving them for a little while so I can get through the books for the Indie Lit Awards. It's gonna be one hell o a Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Snaps for the awesome line-up. All great titles! I love that A Year in Provence is there, since I sent it to you :)) You should slip that in after one of the Wolfe or Dickens books. It's a quick read with lighthearted humor, which you can guzzle after sipping and savoring the literary brilliance in the other books.
ReplyDeleteMy to-read list is getting shorter, but I will not make my personal 2010 Reading Challenge goal of 50 books. I'm in the last quarter of #32 now...
Happy Reading!!
Nice list! My TBR list is out of hand too. So many good books, so little time!
ReplyDeleteLast week I posted my to-read Kindle list; it had 64 titles. Luckily, most of those are samples, so if I don't like one, I'm not committed to finishing it. But I also have about twenty paper books to read too.
ReplyDeleteNice. That's a lot of classics! I've even read some of them, but not many.
ReplyDeleteWOW. That's quite a list. I'm not sure what's next for me...I just go browsing our bookshelves and see what pops out at me. There are probably a hundred I haven't read yet.
ReplyDeleteSo? While you're unplugged, are you reading?
ReplyDeleteOh. My. God. I can't even tell you how surreal it is to see The Liar Society on your list!!! CRAZY! Thanks for being so supportive! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI would overload your comment box if I tried to list them all...
ReplyDeleteWow, I'd be feeling overwhelmed too. Just think one at a time and you'll be fine. Start with the Virginia Woolf.
ReplyDeleteI currently have 17 on my TBR list and it keeps growing too.
ReplyDeleteLook at this sexy line-up! I love to see what you're into. Thanks for the visual.
ReplyDeletePS - This was not meant to sound dirty... sorry.
I have quite the TBR list myself and come Christmas the list will only get larger!
Nice list! I admit, I read few classics a year but there's a few in your TBR pile I'd take a look at and some I've even read :-)
ReplyDeleteYour list is ambitious. I have about five for now and three I would like to get to soon.
ReplyDeleteMy list could rival yours! Now it is even longer....so many books on your list that are only now being added to mine. Do I thank you....Oh okay...Thank you!
ReplyDeleteBoy, I have a long list but not that long!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! I have read four from your list and you won't be disappointed.
I've read the first two... want cliff notes? Actually, 100 Years of Solitude I liked but if you've read Love in the Time of Cholera, I think it is a duplication of experience... so read it if you haven't, but not if you have. A Tale of Two Cities is a great story, though I was young when I read it, so DIFFICULT. (I couldn't manage Dickens until I was in my 20s)
ReplyDeleteThose are a lot of books!
ReplyDeleteHey, there's my book! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI have about five on my list.
I've read one of those, but my TBR pile is so huge, it constitutes a whole bookshelf now.
ReplyDeleteHoly Library Cart, Bat Man! Geez Jess, get those books open girl! I can't talk much... my list is super long and I lack the books... Oh well. Eventually.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Hee hee! Mine's in four piles by my bed. Four teetering piles...
ReplyDeleteRead Marilynne Robinson first! [g]
lol, your list looks a lot like mine! What I wouldn't give to have a few more hours each day. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow Jessica there is a list. I like reading but don't read as often as I should, perhaps a new year resolution........
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you.
Yvonne.
Ya know, I hear the author of Max and Menna has been known to send flowers when you bump that title a little higher on the list ;)
ReplyDeleteHow many did you get through?
