Melissa W.'s list

For my list, I tried to choose novels that I've always been meaning to read. Books that, as someone with a degree in English, I maybe should have read a long time ago. I did not want any book on the list that I'd read before and I also didn't want to have any author more than once. I feel my list has a good range!
