Woe. I feel under-read. I'm going to have to read some of those contemporary classics now, like The Poisonwood Bible, Lovely Bones and The Time Traveler's Wife. Also, never reading The Alchemist. Odd how many "romances" there are... Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Wurthering Heights and Gone with the Wind that I recognize... all this classic English literature bores me, really. I need more excitement. And to read. Yes.

the lovely bones is a nice book. =)

Wow, everybody hates The Alchemist - I really liked it, lots of symbolism and some parts that I didn't understand, but still nice.
