Hi! I saw you over on the fictionwriters community and as I was going to find the piece you asked for feedback on I came across this post and wanted to check out which books you had listed.

I couldn't help but see a lot of books on your list that I've read and loved, so I thought, and I hope you don't mind, I'd strongly second these:

Atonement
Pride and Prejudice
Sense and Sensibility (anything by Jane Austen, really. She's a literary genius; these two are my favorite novels of hers, though.)
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Dante's Inferno (Dante Alighiri is his name. You can buy this piece separately but I know it's part of a much larger work he wrote entitled The Divine Comedy)
The Great Gatsby
Walden and
Paradise Lost.

Rebecca and Jane Eyre were also great, weren't they? I liked them, anyway. Sorry to just burst in! Enjoy your reading :D

Haha. I actually did read The Picture of Dorian Gray... I haven't updated this list in a while. & I own a lot of those books; I just haven't gotten around to reading them. ><;

Rebecca made me shiver it was so good. Jane Eyre was eh, but I think that's because I was reading it for an 8 page paper instead of for my own enjoyment!

You should totally read Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. It's a good book, but the ending sorta fades out. It's about this girl's life in a private boarding school that teaches "clones" of regular people about what will happen to them later in their life. It's a really awesome book.

Oooh I like that idea. Sci-fi freak myself, haha. I'll put it on my list, and hopefully I'll get it for my birthday!
