I don't actually feel much shame for the books I haven't read. Maybe because I am not a librarian. I feel like most things I've skipped, I've skipped for a reason. I have successfully avoided ever reading a James Joyce novel, for instance, and I'm not sorry. (I am sorry that I had to read The Great Gatsby twice, though. But I'm not sorry that I'm sorry

This is a FANTASTIC list - quite a few of my favorite books are on here. I started a list of my own - I was so ashamed to admit how many classics I haven't read that last year I started a list of must-reads. I'm rather pleased with myself that I've managed to make my way through some of these and I actually liked most of them (not 1984, sorry!) Sometimes I get a title out of the library as an audio book and listen to it as I buzz around time doing my usual errands and such. I read Grapes of Wrath that way. I'm currently reading Much Ado About Nothing and I really like it. I'd never read a Shakespearian comedy before. I'm going to put one of the books from your list onto my list so that I can share in your 2014 adventure.
