Better than me, I've only read 19 of those. Hrm. :/

Screw all the rest and read Ethan Frome. Seriously. It was the best non-Modern British Literature moment of my English degree.

Beloved was a great book. Very powerful stuff there.

I think you might enjoy Catch-22, even though just reading about it might not make you think so. It is a good one.

i do actually want to read it, and brave new world. there are probably more too but i already have so many books to get to right now and i seem to barely have time to read. :/
