Apparently I need to pick up some Jane Austen as four of her books are on here. I've tried to read Wuthering Heights and just cannot get through it. I just feel they are insufferable characters! Are there any on here that I haven't read that you feel are "must reads"? Clue me in as to why! I need 8 more to get over the halfway mark. We have Life of Pi at home, so maybe I should start with that!

I was surprised to see I was at 42. How many have you read?
