The last thing I needed was another list to work on, but I admit I can't resist them once I see them. Fortunately, I've read most of these. For those so inclined to look:

Lists tend to make my TBR list multiply exponentially. Luckily I've read a lot of those or already marked a lot of them to read. A few I've decided not to read.

That was my though. I have too many already, but damn if I can resist these. So I thought I'd inflict in on y'all to share the misery. :P

Ahaha not sure I dare either :S I will be relieved if most of them are on my existing wants list Kirsty!


message 13: by Colleen (new)

Colleen (colls) | 6 comments I love lists! I've read many of these, but some so long ago that I'm considering a re-read now.
If I re-read Stranger in a Strange Land will it still be as good as I remember? Or Dune?

I tried starting Dune a couple weeks ago and just couldn't get into it, not to say I disliked it but just wasn't in the right mood/space for it

I hear you. Sometimes if you're not in the mood for something, it's not going to be good regardless. I read it years ago, so both my tastes and the times have changed - I don't know if I would read it again but I did like it the first time. Frank Herbert's writing style is dense sometimes.
I liked his The White Plague a little better than Dune, in case you want to try the author and Dune wasn't working for you.

Dawn Napier (rosered97) | 1 comments I feel like such a bigshot; I've read the first ten on this list already.

I've read about 33% of the top 110, I went to 110 because there were like 5 i had read from 100-110 :) many of them are on my to read shelf but there are lots I know I will never get to. This may be sacrilege but I have zero interest in ever finishing the Harry Potter books. I read 1 and 2 and they just did not interest me in the least.

I really liked the white plague also.
