I wished I could have this list:-) this would mean I could enjoy these great novels again. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao is a joy to read. Le petit prince and l'etranger are great books. And what to say of Gone with the wind and Anne of Green Gables? Delicious!
I also noticed we have a few in common. So nice to know:-)
