If we can find a list for an author who's not listed on this webpage, would that work too (as long as we put the link on our post)?

I'm doing Stephen King...He liked 1984 and I've yet to read it. And I love Stephen King so this will be fun!

I would really like to do Paul Auster for this challenge. I've had New York Trilogy on my shelf for awhile now. Also on my shelf are the first four volumes of In Search of Lost Time. Auster lists the entire set of In Search of Lost Time as one of his top ten books. Now, as some already know, this is a novel in 7 volumes. Right now I have volumes 1-4 at my house for a total of 2229 pages. Can I read *just* the first volume Swann's Way for this challenge?

I'm doing the exact same ones! I've been wanting to read 1984 for awhile now!

I'm planning on using Skeletons at the Feast by Chris Bohjalian & reading his suggestion of Les Misérables (I hope this isn't too ambitious).
