This list is appearing on Facebook. As I prefer to do these kinds of things on my blog, here it is. Bolded are the books I’ve read. Italicized are the books I’ve started but haven’t finished. Plain text are the books I’ve not even started. This year’s book list, perhaps?

1. Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen

2. The Lord of the Rings – JRR Tolkien

3. Jane Eyre – Charlotte Bronte

4. Harry Potter series – JK Rowling

5. To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee – However, it was in grade school. Should read it again.

6. The Bible – I try and I try, but I always get stuck somewhere in Exodus or Leviticus (ie, right near the beginning… *hangs head in shame* ;) ). 2011, perhaps?

16. The Hobbit – JRR Tolkien

17. Birdsong – Sebastian Faulk

18. Catcher in the Rye – JD Salinger

38. Captain Corelli’s Mandolin – Louis De Bernieres
