What Books Have You Read?

(Got this meme from Deep Thinker.. and thought I'd do it!)

What Books Have You Read?

Look at the list of books below:
* Bold the ones you’ve read
* Italicize the ones you want to read
* Leave the ones that you aren’t interested in.
(I've also made a note of the ones I've seen the film of)

**If there are any books on this list that I didn't italicize and you think I should read, let me know in comments! Also, what other books do you think belong on this list and why?

I would be happy to read the following again:

59. The Handmaid’s Tale (Margaret Atwood) or see the film. I love Margaret Atwood.

A must read. I want Heathcliff. Yes I want him!

Wuthering Heights is my fave novel of all time. I've read it three times.

There have been so many films that I have been disappointed with after reading the book. Memoirs of a Geisha is a crap film but a brilliant read!
