As of February 16th (when the boyfriend has his exam), I'll be undertaking the 101 missions in 1001 days here. On that day, I'll post my mission pack/list, but for now (mainly because oh my god, I can't wait that long!!), I'm just going to post the book list I've researched, pestered friends/family about and recorded here for those to see/follow.

Yeah, I can't wait! :p

Wow! Sadly I never read those except Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and The Alchemist. They sound like great books to read! Now I'm interested...

I'm very much looking forward to reading Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde; he's an interesting character whom I'm also using as inspiration for one of my original stories.

Thanks, yeah :). I'll update as I go down the list, so you can see how I'm going ;p.

The Witching Hour is love. :)

And if you read The Magus and find you like John Fowles, you should read The French Lieutenant's Woman. It's wonderful. :) I read it for a class and wrote a big paper on it I liked it so much. For that reason, The Magus is also on my list of books to read.

Oh, glad you like it too :). I've got a lot of friends who enjoy reading, but can't stand Anne Rice. And yet, they like Stephanie Meyer. I've given up trying to work that out XD.

I wasn't going to include The Magus originally, but the Wikipedia description of it caught my interest. Seems like an engaging read to say the least (and of course it's set in/near Venice too, which makes it cool, heh). If I like it, I'll check out The French Lieutenant's Woman. :)
