It's still terrible any way that you cut it. I have read 3 out of the 40 on your list, so that's pretty good. I am, however, sorely disappointed at the lack of representation from Irvine Welsh. And The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Thanks for the shout out about Wuthering Heights. It's still terrible any way that you cut it. I have read 3 out of the 40 on your list, so that's pretty good.

I look forward to referring to this list frequently in September when I will have some time to launch my own Great Books tour. <br>BTW I am reading Neil Gaiman's journal/blog and his novel "American Gods" and am on the verge of becoming a great big fanboy (are there such things as fangirls? It sounds so much less committed). Just a quick comment about the Harry Potter mention below: if you like Harry Potter I really think that The Golden Compass is SO worth the read, despite the awful film version. Picture of Dorian Gray is first on my list. Can't wait and thanks so much for sharing. I reiterate: you big tease.

I must note that our respective circles clearly do not intersect. Your list is impressive, mostly because I've never heard of the majority of your authors or books. I stick to the aisles in Chapters that I'm familiar with and don't tend to stray too often. I'll try to make an exception by sampling from your list. My reading pace is glacial at best so I'll be commenting on this list when you are well into the next list.<br><br>P.S. Please disregard my praise of the Harry Potter novels. On my list of recently read novels these stand out as legitimate literature. On your list these are in fact childish, like they were intended to be. In certain circles I am considered “well-read”.
