Barthheart said something about Don Quixote being on his "bucket list" of books to read and that got me thinking, "What's on MY bucket list?"  Guy Gavriel Kay.  Enough Asian history books to familiarize myself with the timeline of important dates and events.  Books on the history of corners of the world that I know little or nothing about.  An entire John Keegan book. A host of things that escape me now that I want them. 

Now, how about you?

"To Kill a Mockingbird". One of those classics I never got to. It's at least made it onto my Amazon wish list at this point, lol. That's progress.

Jesus H; there are far too many books for me to possibly list.  Seriously, it would be an all-day affair to just sit here and write/type them all down!

C'mon, Martok!  Give it a try.  Just think of the service you would be doing for the rest of us :-)

Actually, I think "masochist" is the word you're looking for.  :P

War and Peace.

Bah!  That's a bedtime story compared to any of the Robert Jordan Wheel Of Time books.

I haven't read War And Peace, but I did read the first eight Wheel Of Time books.  That's a hundred and forty seven years I will never get back.
