Stolen from rodshark
Because I'm bored, the tornado warning's over, and South Park is a rerun (though a good one), I'm going to force another time waster on myself and everyone else. I'll LJ-cut to spare you, especially since I think I've seen this one before, but with some different books.
Read= bold
not completed= italics
not read= plain text
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
Anna Karenina
Crime and Punishment
Catch-22
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Wuthering Heights
The Silmarillion (For those of you who, having not read the Lord of the Rings books, thought that the movies were way too long, try reading this one, ya wusses!)
Life of Pi : a novel
The Name of the Rose
Don Quixote (I can't believe I finished this one.)
Moby Dick
Ulysses (Nobody finishes this fucking book unless there's a test on it later.)
Madame Bovary
The Odyssey
Pride and Prejudice
Jane Eyre (This is not a book for everyone, but it is really a good story.)
A Tale of Two Cities
The Brothers Karamazov
Guns, Germs, and Steel: the fates of human societies (I swear to dog I will finish this fucking book one day. It's a great book, but it's incredibly dense.)
War and Peace
Vanity Fair
The Time Traveler's Wife
The Iliad (Thank you, Latin class.)
Emma
The Blind Assassin
The Kite Runner
Mrs. Dalloway
Great Expectations (And don't tell my fellow English majors this, but I liked it. Of course, I was fifteen at the time.)
American Gods (Great book! Read it! And then read Anansi Boys!)
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
Atlas Shrugged (Hoo boy! This is a piece of grade A shit right here! Closest I've ever come to throwing a book across the room.)
Reading Lolita in Tehran : a memoir in books
Memoirs of a Geisha
Middlesex
Quicksilver
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (This is on my to-read list. My mother bought it and read it so it's close by. I just have to finish all the other stuff I still have to read first.)
The Canterbury Tales (And I'm one of the few people who actually really liked it.)
The Historian: A Novel
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (I remember absolutely nothing about this book.)
Love in the Time of Cholera (I actually haven't read this one One Hundred Years of Solitude since high school. I really need to.)
Brave New World
The Fountainhead (I'm a glutton for punishment. I lived to torture myself in high school.)
Foucault’s Pendulum (Also on my to-read list. It's sitting on a bookshelf right now, waiting for me.)
Middlemarch
Frankenstein
The Count of Monte Cristo
Dracula
A Clockwork Orange (The final chapter that was never in the movie really does make a world of difference in how the story plays out. But to be fair, leaving the last chapter out probably made for a better movie ending.)
Anansi Boys
The Once and Future King
The Grapes of Wrath
The Poisonwood Bible
1984
Angels & Demons
The Inferno (Dante had issues.)
The Satanic Verses (Again, on my to-read list.)

To the Lighthouse
Tess of the D'Urbervilles
Oliver Twist
Gulliver's Travels
Les Misérables
The Corrections
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Dune (Probably the best science fiction book I've ever read. A must for anyone who likes the tangy taste of politics in their science fiction.)
The Prince (High school history class got me to read it.)
The Sound and the Fury
Angela’s Ashes
The God of Small Things
A People’s History of the United States : 1492-present (I would have finished it by now, but that bastard Zinn keeps adding to it.)
Cryptonomicon
Neverwhere
A Confederacy of Dunces
A Short History of Nearly Everything (On my to-read list as well.)
Dubliners (I both italicized and bolded because I can't remember whether or not I finished it.)
