I can't wait to read Jane. There are so many other books on my list it's a wonder that I get any writing done at all!
Don't feel too bad. I haven't read a majority of the books on your lists. However, I'm FINALLY going to start reading Catcher in the Rye this week. :)
I haven't read a lot of the books on your list- definitely not the more American ones like Catcher in the Rye and The Scarlet Letter, because we never covered them at school in the UK. I did really enjoy Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet, though- even though I've done Macbeth in class on three separate occasions. Two plays I really, really enjoyed were RC Sherriff's 'Journey's End' and Oscar Wilde's 'The Importance of being Earnest' (sp?) which I really recommend if you liking reading plays!
I'd say you've read a good amount. You should be proud. I always liked Room With A View. :)
I can't wait to read The Sky is Everywhere. It's on my TBR SOON list.
I recommend the other Jane Austen novels. She's AMAZING - her characterization is incredible, and her dialogue... omg, she can make magic happen with dialogue. My favourite Austen novel is Emma, so I really recommend that. I also recommend the original Frankenstein. Pretty cool that Mary Shelley was only 19 when she wrote it.
Hehe, what's that they say about great minds thinking alike? ;) And I have to say, you're waaay ahead of me in terms of what classics you have read!
JANE EYRE IS THE BEST!!! OK, it's like my favourite book so it gets me excited :D
And thank you for the congratulations!
Every book I write is an attempt to write Jane Eyre. You'll love it!
Oooh, you're in for some fun reading! Those are some of my faves.
