Books You Always Meant to Read.

[Andreea]

About the LOTR series although it might be boring sometimes i really loved it...especially the third book because it has more action

[A Book-Nerd]

I meant to read Vampire Academy, Gossip Girl, Harry Potter and many more. I have read so many great series that I forget about these. I feel bad at times but it happens when your a Bookworm.

[Rachel]

I've never read Finnegan's Wake, Rebecca, To kill a mockingbird, Catcher in the rye, anything by Faulkner, Anything by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the fault In our stars, les miserables, the Malazan Book of the Fallen series, and I lost my copy of GoT when I was smack dab in the middle of it. I must finishhh it... I really liked it.

[Julia]

Pride & Prejudice
Emma

Yeah, I've seen the movie and I read the first chapter or so, but then I got so busy and it got put back up on the bookshelf to gather dust.

[Jon]

Jack, you're full of bad habits!

[Jack]

Haha, yes I am. :-)

[Niharika]

I love all except I have only watched the movies 'Dracula' *ashamed*
must read the book!

[Natalie]

I'm finally reading Jane Austen. I've done P&P. Now on Persuasion. Interested in Mansfield Park and S&S also. But not certain on Emma & Northanger Abbey... Incites on these 2 are welcome to help encourage my interest...

[Brittany]

Emma is great if you love imperfect characters she can be a little mean if I recall correctly she is not Jane or Elizabeth, Northanger Abbey is on my list to read a swell the only one i haven't done if you liked wuthering heights you will love emma.
R u reading the classics if so we should chat I have a whole list and have read quite a few.

LOTR is great. The movie is nothing like the books. the ending of Return of the King was really shortened and (SPOILER) when Sam's wife dies he follows Frodo across the sea.

[Natalie]

Right now, I'm just working on Jane Austen, but I have aspirations of reading as much as I can. I am open to all kinds of suggestions. I've always loved Great Expectations though; one of my favorite classics.

You have to read TKAM! It starts slow and the background may seem a bit pointless but persevere as it's a wonderful, wonderful book.

I decided many years ago that I should read Dante's Divine Comedy. After I purchased it I realized it was one bloody big poem. I made it a few pages in, but it sits in a bookcase unread. I like to think I'll get to it one day but in reality it seems like awfully hard work. I'd also like to finish The Canterbury Tales at some point.

[Michael]

Since Amazon Nook has all of the books from "Chronicles of Narnia" on sale today for $1.99 each today I want to move those from always wanted to read to have finished, soon. =)

[Amanda]

I always think about trying Jane Austin but never got round to it .

Me too..

[Joanne Farley]

Jane Austen is on my list to - if I were to be honest I don't think I will ever get around to it.

[Brittany]

I love Jane Austin read all her books the thing to do is read it when you're waiting on a new release. that is what I do. I get the classics in between the newbies. But I read a book a day so I have a lot of extra time.

[Mariah Monique]

Perks of Being A Wallflower, A Song Of Ice and Fire Series, a Series of Unfortunate Events, and so much more. I have a pretty extensive list, written out and in my drawer.

[Jon]

The Harvard Classics, The Great Books, The complete Lincoln biography by Sandburg, etc...
But it's just so much easier to read about Vampires.

[Boo]

Philip Roth!

[Melissa]

Ok so here's a few I need to still read:

~ Gone With the Wind
~ Scarlett
~ War and Peace
~ The second and third book of the Girl with the Tattoo trilogy

I haven't read TLOTR series or Harry Potter but I doubt I ever will.

Have read a couple of Jane Austen's books but I hate reading them. Am I the only one on Earth?

[McLendon]

Oh man, this is a long long list. I'm not even sure I can list them all, but I'll give it a try:

- Ulysses by James Joyce
- Glass Bead Game by Hesse
- Moby Dick
- Sherlock Holmes
- 1984 & Animal Farm
- Brave New World
- The Book Thief
- Chronicles of Narnia
- Life of Pi

That's probably an overlong list as it is. I haven't read (or finished reading) any Jane Austen books, but it's not my scene. I find them painfully slow.

[Kandy]

I really enjoyed the origin of species. It is a lot more intimidating until you start it.

Jane Austin books are a bit tedious for me. I don't care for them at all.

I'm reading one now. I've wanted to read Parade's End by Ford Madox Ford for years; after watching the HBO series I decided now is the time. I'll post a review when I'm done.

I also watched Parade's End, but the BBC mini-series (with Benedict Cumberbatch) and I really want to read the book!

Yeah, it was a BBC/HBO joint venture. So far (200 page), I'm really enjoying Parade's End!

[Tone]

I have always meant to read the Kite Runner and Percy Jackson, but I ahve never come that far...
