Book List

[ethaisa]

So I've got a new project for myself. Below is a list from a MLA (Museum, Libraries and Archives Council) poll answering "Which book should every adult read before they die?". It's an interesting list, with the usual classical suspects, many of which I've already read (but should probably read again, and marked with *) but a number I haven't. So I'll start with those, and since I've already got a copy of The Lovely Bones I'll start with it.
