I, too, can play this game...
The current top 46 books from whatshouldireadnext.com. Bold the books you have read. Italicise the books you might read. Leave the rest.
1. The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
2. The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger (Had to read this one for high school. Not too bad, though. If only for the fact he says "Goddammit" alot, and it pissed off some of the waay too religious people in my class.)
3. The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy - Douglas Adams (Great book!)
4. The Great Gatsby - F.Scott Fitzgerald (Also had to read for high school. The best part? The Gatsby party we had afterwards. Nothing like parties in high school where you get to dress in period clothes! And eat strawberries and the like.)
5. To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
6. The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger
7. His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
8. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - J.K. Rowling (I started this one, but ever since graduating, I've had a hard time sitting down and reading an actual book. Even ones as good as the Harry Potter series. I will read this one, though. And before the next one comes out.)
9. Life of Pi - Yann Martel
10. Animal Farm: A Fairy Story - George Orwell (Read this one way back in middle school. Would probably mean more to me now.)
11. Catch-22 - Joseph Heller
12. The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien
13. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Mark Haddon
14. Lord of the Flies - William Golding (Read this one in high school. I actually really liked it.)
15. Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen (I was supposed to read this for 2 or more classes in college...never finished it once)
16. 1984 - George Orwell
17. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - J.K. Rowling
18. One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

35. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - C.S. Lewis
36. Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides
37. Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell
38. The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien (I started this about the time of the first movie, but couldn't get past the first chapter. I'm sorry, but I don't care what random things Bilbo is giving to the people down the street. Sooo frickin' boring! When I feel ambitious, I'll try to read past that)
39. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte (Started this one for a class, too, but also never bothered to finish it. I actually only finished one actual book from that class.)
40. Good Omens - Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman (One of the best books out there! I love Terry Pratchett!!)
41. Atonement - Ian McEwan
42. The Shadow Of The Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon
43. The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway
44. The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood (Read this one in middle school for my reading credit in my French class. A little creepy, but pretty good.)
45. The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath
46. Dune - Frank Herbert (NO. I'll let my brother read it, thankyouverymuch.)
I ended up underlining the ones I was supposed to read. Oh well. And there may be others I'll read someday, but since I don't know anything about them, I don't know if they're my genre or what.
