Henry James Marathon

A couple of months ago I ventured on my 3rd Jane Austen Marathon, and after that decided to give this task a long break, for I had my plans to read her novels ten times. With this I am also on my 2nd year trying to finish the Modern Library Top 100 list, hoping to read each title twice, now I am on my first run with 66 titles down. Aside from my reading I am extremely busy with my constitutional. Now I am reading Henry James' [I]the Beast in the Jungle[/I] and to what effect I can't comprehend I suddenly had this strong itch to read his books I own in my shelf. A Jane Austen Marathon is silly but a Henry James Marathon is suicide. I know I know, but my mouth is watering. I am leaving this task for speculation till the 10th of June and then I will decide if I'll do it or not. Need your help! This is my list:
[I]Daisy Miller
Washington Square
The Portrait of a Lady
The Turn of the Screw
The Wings of the Dove
The Beast in the Jungle
The Ambassadors
The Golden Bowl
The Jolly Corner[/I]
