So, let's post which books we wanna read. We can also recommend (or not) a book that someone already said they want to read. It's also good to say why you recommend it or not. I haven't seen a thread like this so I'm starting one, ok?
My list is: - Gossip Girl, by Cecily von Ziegesar; - Angels and Demons, by Dan Brown; - Girl with a Pearl Earring, by Tracy Chevalier; - Sophie's World, by Jostein Gaarder (I started reading it but I lent it to my friend and I borrowed The Da Vinci Code from her) ;D;
- Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley; - Animal Farm, by George Orwell (gotta finish it!). Heh and if I could get "Watch Your Mouth" and "The Basic Eight" too.
In no specific order. (:
Remember: you can always edit your post to add more books!

Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy. The Outsider, Albert Camus.
I keep on meaning to read them but then I put it off for some reason.

Can we say books that haven't come out yet?

What do I want to read? I have a pretty long list; I'll abridge it for the sake of not boring all the people reading this. 1) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen 2) Hard Times by Charles Dickens 3) The Basic Eight by Daniel Handler 4) Eats, Shoots, and Leaves by ?? (I can't remember...) And several others. I think I would read pretty much anything. Except Antigone. I wouldn't read that again if you paid me. Or The Great Turkey Walk. (Ok, so I lied. I probably would. It's pretty sad what I'd do for money. But I wouldn't enjoy it!)
EDIT: Oh yes. 5) The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown. Mustn't forget that one.
