  • The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
  • Vanity Fair by William Thackeray
  • Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
  • Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
  • The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

  • The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by Anne Rice (or A.N. Roquelaure)
  • The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell
  • The Republic by Plato
  • Finish The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

In all likeliness, I’m not going to get through this list because it’s only going to keep growing. But hopefully making the list in the first place will motivate me enough to get started on it!

My cousin started reading Wuthering Heights recently, which makes me want to go back and read it again. There's something about the moors and the overall creepiness that the setting evokes that makes it romantic, in an unconventional sort of way. Or maybe I'm just weird for liking things like that.
