Classics! (Progress: 33)

This really can't be counted as "Progress," but I have finally found a list of books that I want to read for number 33: Read 10 "Classic" Novels! This is a list that someone else compiled, but I'm open to other suggestions! :)

1. Don Quixote
2. Gulliver's Travels
3. Pride and Prejudice
4. Oliver Twist
5. The Scarlet Letter
6. Moby Dick
7. Madame Bovary
8. Crime and Punishment
9. Anna Karenina
10. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

I love to read! <3,
Jillian

I might as well just add mine to this as well. Also open to suggestions. =]
1. Bleak House
2. Metamorphosis and Other Stories
3. Jane Eyre
4. Anna Karenina
5. Gulliver's Travels
6. Count of Monte Cristo
7. Age of Innocence
8. Babbitt
9. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
10. On the Road

Some of them are definitely more modern "classics" but i really want to read them.

    i loved gulliver's travels, and its on both your lists. i wouldve liked it a lot more if i wasnt forced to read like 250 pages of it in one weekend so that i could write about it for synthesis. haha.
