This is a disorganized list and is by no means exhaustive--it's what I could remember at the time. It may lose it's interest value after a while for me as well as the viewer. Some books are grouped by authors, some are spontaneously added, and others are simply a title covering a lot of works (when it can be done). I've read a lot of poetry, but I've only listed those authors that I've spent a lot of time with or that I have particular affinity for.

Some notables on my TBR:

The Hunchback of Notre Dame
A Tale of Two Cities
Oliver Twist
Great Expectations
The Decameron

Nice list. I hope mine grows to the size of yours eventually!

Most of these are books I was supposed to read in college and didn't. I spent a lot of time after college trying to get them read!

Dumas, Hugo, and Dickens are three authors I need to read more of that I just don't seem to take the time to do so.

I can understand why. They are so long! I'm listening to the audiobook of Count of Monte Cristo, and I had no idea how long it would be. It's six parts of eight hours each! I thought I would get it done in a month, but it's going to take two. lol

Well, I don't mind the length. I don't listen to audio books or use an ereader, so a lot of it is that I haven't found the copy of the book I want to read. Eccentric, but that's the way I operate with classics. Once I get going, a 48-hour audio would take me much less time to complete.

That's cool. Having a nice copy makes each book a treasure. Good luck in hunting for copies you like!

Finished Justine, Philosophy in the Bedroom, and Other Writings. Currently reading David Copperfield.

Yay! David Copperfield in off my TBR after 30+ years!

Currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo

The Count of Monte Cristo is without a doubt the greatest adventure book I've ever read. I recommend the Robin Buss translation to everyone!

I was never planning on reading To Kill a Mockingbird; I was fine with it being a movie that I had seen multiple times. But when Go Set a Watchman was published, I decided to read it. loved TKaM, but at the halfway point of GSaW, I wish I had never read either.

There were some parts of GSAW that I enjoyed, but on the whole I wish I hadn't read it either.

Completed my 4th voyage on the Pequod (and it sinks EVERY TIME!) Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is one of my favoirtes.

Also, I knocked of another Hemingway book,To Have and Have Not. I'm slowly making my way through the complete Hemingway collection I have.

Added Across the River and into the Trees and
The Quilt and Other Stories by Tayama Katai to my list of read classics.

Going to take the plunge with Les Misérables. Again. Maybe this time...

Finished Les Misérables in 20 days!

My favorite part was "The Intestine of the Leviathan" (the history of the Paris sewer). But the whole was magnificent. Definitely one of my favorites.

I did not want that one to end!

Made it through The Canterbury Tales. THAT was a chore. There are certain tales I might reread, but never the whole again.

Just finished my third Alexandre Dumas book: The Red Sphinx: A Sequel to The Three Musketeers. Not in the same class as The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, but a great read.

Read Psycho for a change of pace and just spent 3 weeks with Juliette. I've now read all I want to of the Marquis and happily relegate him to an out of the way dusty book shelf in my basement.

Currently reading Backlands: The Canudos Campaign by Euclides Da Cunha. I'm playing classics Bingo in another group and one of the squares was a South American classic; so I spent some time looking for one that was not penned by Gabriel García Márquez (who seems to be the go-to SA author for classics)--also I wanted one that was at least 50 years old.

Embarking on The Faerie Queene, a book that will probably take me all of August to read (at least I've allotted the whole moth for it.)
