I have a whole pile of books that I want to read but have never gotten around to. Most of Tolstoy, some Dostoevsky, etc.

I really want to read more of Jane Austen, especially "Northanger Abbey" and "Emma" (which I fear I have not read, just watched the film. And I'm quite sure the book will be a good deal more fun). Also, anything else written by ilan Kundera and Salman Rushdie's "Satanic Verses", since I've read
"The Moor's Last Sigh" and "Haroon and the Sea of Stories" and I loved both of them

 

[Micaela]

I really really want to read Eldest, The Phrophet, Skinny....and a whole bunch of others I can't remember right now as my brain is not working properly atm!

 

[Spike413]

The Story of O by Pauline Reage and Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Lachlos.....still debating which to read first.

The books are a little different than the films, but they're both really fun to read.

me too!

 

[lostgirl]

^^^ IMO Love in the Time of the Cholera is Marquez's best work. It's such a beautiful story of love lasting a lifetime. If you're curious about it you should definately read it. It's a great intoduction to magical realism.

I read it when I was in high school. One day we had some free time in one of my classes, so I took out the book and started to read, and my teacher told me to put the book away because the cover illustration was too racy! This was the illustration:
