I read The Stranger and The Plague last year, both which I enjoyed. But I think the reason that I never finished The Fall was because it was an impulse buy (Oh hello 25 cent books) and I was already reading another book at the time.
The Great Gatsby just seemed like a 1920s version of Gossip Girl, except it's not visual so you don't get to physically see the pretty people and the pretty clothes. (Which is basically the only reason that I watch Gossip Girl. Heh.)
You should read Sex, Drugs, and Coco Puffs with me when I get around to it, which will hopfully be eventually. It seems like the kind of thing that'd amuse you.
haha i love how you say that three of them shouldn't count because its Twilight. i agree. i love the Great Gatsby but i think its one of those books that you either love or hate. thats the general idea i got from it when we read it in AP English 3. half of the classed loved it and the other half hated it.
Really. I almost feel as though if I'm going to count that book on this list, I should also count song lyrics, the back of a cereal box, toothpaste labels...
I'm curious to know what you thought of the Twilight books. I've seen so many people obsessing over them, and I'm quite interested in possibly trying them out.

Albert Camus - The Fall
You should really, really really consider finishing these. Camus should be on everyone's "Have Read" list. Because I say so. :P
You've read more than me this year. Which is pretty sad on my part.
P.S. I wasn't fond of the The Great Gatsby either. It was just...meh. I thought it was highly overrated.
