My "To Read" List (Goal #11)

After consulting a number of lists for high school graduates on books that should be read before college, I decided that these 50 titles would make up my "To Read" list. While there are a number of other, more contemporary (& fun) books I would like to read, most of these are books that make me feel like a failure because I've never read them despite being an English major. So I want to make it through at least 10 of these before the challenge is over.

  1. A Tale of Two Cities
  2. Moby Dick
  3. Atlas Shrugged
  4. Their Eyes Were Watching God
  5. Catcher in the Rye
  6. The Grapes of Wrath
  7. The Sun Also Rises
  8. Beloved (okay, that one's mine)
  9. Brideshead Revisited
  10. Catch-22
  11. A Clockwork Orange
  12. The Great Gatsby
  13. Invisible Man
  14. Lolita
  15. 1984
  16. The Bridge of San Luis Rey
  17. Don Quixote
  18. Go Tell it on the Mountain
  19. Heart of Darkness
  20. Red Badge of Courage
