I love reading, and I try to split my time between classic literature and pop genre fiction. For the past couple years, it's been heavy on the romance and mysteries, and not very many classics. This is changing now. :)

I love reading, and I try to split my time between classic literature and pop genre fiction. For the past couple years, it's been heavy on the romance and mysteries, and not very many classics. This is changing now. :)
I intended this list to be just for the new classics I have read and plan to read. But that's an unfair representation of my tastes. Therefore, it's all going up here, as soon as I remember what I've read.
Also, I'm hoping to eventually finish the list of the top ten books from the book "The Top Ten: Writers Pick Their Favorite Books". Unfortunately, to read it completely requires finishing 8040 pages. And I've only done 620. I've got a long ways to go. List as follows:
1. Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy
2. Madame Bovary, by Gustave Flaubert
3. War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy
4. Lolita, by Vladimir Nabokov
5. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain
6. Hamlet, by William Shakespeare
7. The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald
8. In Search of Lost Time, by Marcel Proust
9. The stories of Anton Chekhov
10. Middlemarch, by George Eliot
