I still want to read it, but the copy I had was so beat-up and musty that I knew I would never pick it up. (I think I got it at one of those $5 for a bag library sales.)<br /><br />Love your blog!

There were common answers across the many submissions by very different readers. <br /><br />This one is very different. I've only seen a few lists so far, but I'm already betting they will be as individual as fingerprints--with very few books showing up on more than a handful of lists.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-44949491226451391232011-03-02T02:10:52.832-05:002011-03-02T02:10:52.832-05:00Suite Francaise has also been on my shelf for ages...<i>Suite Francaise</i> has also been on my shelf for ages untouched!

I definitely recommend...Rebecca is on my list too!<br /><br />I definitely recommend Little Women and Lolita. Yes, Lolita's subject matter is squicky, but there are so many layers to the narrative it's unbelievable. I think it helped that I re-read the book in a class with a Russian professor who was passionate about Nabokov. It showed me how many "readings" of the story I had missed the first time.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04306698846042209600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-70417239702964568272011-03-01T17:33:34.101-05:002011-03-01T17:33:34.101-05:00Definitely read Lolita.
