In the interest of full disclosure, I've read about half of Dracula and maybe 60 pages of The Hobbit, and I may have read part of A Sentimental Journey in college, but I don't remember much, if anything, about it. From the bookmarks in the ones I own, it appears that I've also started a few other books on the list at one time or another, but I know I haven't finished any of them yet. I started reading the other night with Wide Sargasso Sea and then started Treasure Island as well.

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich is one of my all time favourite books, so I can't wait to hear what you think of it.
This is an awesome list - I think we have pretty similar tastes :)
wow we have so much in common!!!
Stephanie, your 100-book list overlaps my 50-book list by 14 titles -- I think my book group suggestions (when it's my turn 3 months from now) will probably try to help us both knock a few off our lists!
Overlaps: Amis, Bulgakov, E.R. Burroughs, Chopin, Golding, Kipling, Lawrence, Martel, Roth, Schlink, Solzhenitsyn, Stowe, Wells, Wilde.
