Great list. I have read eight of your books, and I loved A Time to Kill. I will be reading War and Peace and The Secret History for my challenge also.

I honestly can't wait, these are all books I have been wanting to read for ages but I have to wait because I have exams and other IB (I'm on my second, and last, year of the International Baccalaureate course) stuff to do.

I'd have to say my most highly anticipated is War and Peace, Lolita, The Secret History and Withering Heights.

Have you by any chance read Sycamore Row, the second book in the A Time to Kill series? I actually bought that first but then noticed it had a first book so I go that too. I read the first chapter, loved it, but then got distracted... as usual.

You have put together a very nice list. Of the ones I've read, The Count of Monte Cristo, is my favorite. I am also baring any changes planning on reading War and Peace, Catch-22, and Lolita. I'll interested in reading what you think about them. Good luck!

I thought I would read Sycamore Row this year, but it is still on my TBR list. I truly hope to get to it next year. I hope you like Wuthering Heights more than me. I read it in high school and then again a few years ago, but both times I just didn't like it.

Thank you. A lot of the books I have in mind for 2015 are quite big in size, which I really miss, big books are my favourite to read because you get really invested in the characters. I think that's why I'm really excited to read these, and why I have high hopes for them. Good luck to you too. :)

Amen. I do have quite high hopes for Wuthering Heights. I've read Jane Eyre and Agnes Grey and I've enjoyed both so I think I will enjoy this as well... Hopefully...

I think you succeeded, War and Peace, The Count of Monte Cristo, and A Game of Thrones will never be considered small and have plenty of characters.
