  3. The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
  4. Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
  5. Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell

  24. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
  25. The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan
The titles in red are books I've read. Looks like I've done a little better here than I usually do with these lists - I've actually read eleven of the twenty-five. Not quite half, but getting there. I've got several of the others on my own "wish list." And there are a couple (Time Traveler's Wife; Life of Pi) that I've started and then abandoned. Well, maybe not abandoned - just moved them to the "on hold" list.

    A friend of mine read Ominvore's Dilemma for a class: he STILL talks about it months after the fact.

    Oh, this is a good list! I've read quite a few but there are others, like Water for Elephants, that I'd like to read, soon. Quite a few classics on this wishlist, too, which I've read but not since high school and need to reread.

    You've done better than me - I've only read 7 of the books.

    I've only read three. So, you're a goddess by my standards! ;-)

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.

Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
