Scott Fitzgerald novels several Bronte sister novels, and am half way through Anna Karennina (sp?) I can't remember all the classics I have read but luckily I have many more to go.
I have read Anna Karenina, it was another one of those that for me, was a little hard to read. I have also read Steinbeck's East of Eden and loved it, I have Grapes of Wrath on my list. I actually have a list that I plan to check off one by one. It is by no means complete, but it is probably about a year's worth of reading. Maybe one day, I will post it....

I have also read several books by William Styron...Confessions of Nat Turner, Sophie's Choice, and Darkness Visible. All were great, but the most memorable was Sophie's Choice. I just can't imagine being put in that position....great book.

Anyway..I gotta go...

Happy Reading!!
