Nice list! You've got some heavy-duty books there, hope you enjoy them all. I'm also going to try to get through One Hundred Years of Solitude in the January group read. I think I started it before and didn't care for it too much. I'm hoping the group read will spur me on to get through it this time! Good luck to you & enjoy! :)

I read your three Old books and The Grapes of Wrath, all enjoyable reads. Don't give up on Les Miserables too soon. It's a great story, but takes a little while to get in to for many people. Hope you enjoy them all.

I read one hundred years in Chinese at 16 and hated it. Hope this time the group can carry me through.

You're not giving me much hope for this book!! But, yes, I hope the group will be able to give us some support and inspiration! Haha ;)

Great list!
Midnight's Children does get bogged down a bit when they're talking about Indian/Pakistani history & politics, but I still really enjoyed it.

I've been meaning to read One Hundred Years of Solitude for a really long time. I'm looking forward to the group read next month.

I just took Les Miserables out for now...better chance to get through the list :) The book will won't leave my TBR until I read it. Thanks for the encouragement.
