I'm sad to say I've only read one book out of your own personal list there. That being "To kill a mockingbird".

I'm sure I have read at least a couple more on the full list though.

XD; I'm embarrassed by how many books I've actually read off that list. Granted, that list is really lacking in Shakespeare--which shocked me because, well, it's freaking Shakespeare!--and a lot of other good books.

Out of my personal list, I've only enjoyed four of the books. The rest, either I wasn't crazy about (I remember hating "The Bluest Eye", for one, and I can probably rant about it if I ever gave it a reread) or I don't personally consider them great books.

Hmm, I started to read "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey a few years ago, but I never finished it. It's from the point of view of the man believed to be mute in the movie, right?
