Oliver Twist is my favorite Charles Dickens. Grapes of Wrath, Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, Wuthering Heights, and Tale of Two Cities were all required. Hamlet was also required. I loved Little Women and Ann of Green Gables, and Love Sir Arthur Conan Doyle andhave all of Sherlock Holmes's books. Am reading the Lovely Bone, right now,via digital talking book. Loved Harry Potter, and Tolkien's Books and didn't mind some of the Chronicles of Narnia, did not like Pride and Prejudice, I guess I am just not that accomplished, smile. Loved Davinci Code, and Orwell's books, read both of them. Have read the other Dickens. Bleak House and David Copperfield both in highschool, plus Dracula, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Secret Garden was a favorite of my friends and mine when we were younger. You know one I don't see on thereand am disappointed is Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. Oh, and read Moby Dickafter watching the movie, actually fairly close to form, smile, though definitely not going off on the topic of whaling. And I did read half of Les Miserables, got to the part about Waterloo and kind of stopped had to return the tapes. But is a good, book, and an awesome musical. And of course Alice in Wonderland, smile. So perhaps more than smile 18. And I am only as of tomorrow 29. Smile. Some of these I do recognize though. A very intriguing list. Shelley L.

I'm impressed by how eclectic and recent some items on this list are (Rowlings, Tolkien, Douglas Adams, Khaled Hosseini, Dan Brown, MagaretAtwood, Frank Herbert, Salman Rushde, Iain Banks, Roald Dahl and many moreI wouldn't expect). I didn't read a single Harry Potter because we had a radio show by a woman who read children's books (and did voices and all)who did the first four books. The one I was assigned in high school that Inever got through was Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.Does the "no plays on bookshare" extend to public domain like Shakespeare?And is there really a single volume called the Complete Works of Shakespeare? That would make reading War and Peace child's play by comparison. Misha On 11/20/2010 4:06 PM, Judy s. wrote:Nobody beat me up, but to my shock I've read 69 of them... That either says that I'm way older than most of you and have had more time to read, or that my incredibly anal high school and college English teachers were right on which books we had to read for their classes. grin.
