Oops!!!
Most of these I just got for one of my classes but most of them also happend to be upon one of my book lists as well.
Dubliners, James Joyce
A Passage to India, E.M. Forster
The Death of the Heart, Elizabeth Bowen
To the Lighthouse, Virginia Wolf
*The Ambassadors, Henry James
*The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood
*The Island of the Day Before, Umberto Eco
*Dark Voices, a collection of horror stories
* These ones I got for only for my personal reading pleasure, and are not school related.
One of my favorites! I just bought A Cloclwork Orange by Anthony Burgess. I've seen the movie countless times, but never read the book. I also bought Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead, I've been told that no self-respecting U.S. soldier could go without reading this book.Quote:

Though I have not read The Dubliners before, I have read Joyce before, and honestly I am not exactly enthusiastic about pursuing more of his work from my prior experience.Quote:

But that explains why it was a bestseller... generally books become bestsellers nowadays because they are accessible, and easy to read for the general public, which is not a very good sign if one is looking for something of quality.. Something that could be called good Literature...Quote:

before that was Dostoevsky's A Raw Youth ( or The Adolescent).. the least well known, and in my opinion, the most underrated of his five major works... in fact one of the most underrated books I have read...
My sister gave me a gift certificate to B&N for my bday, so I bought the 5 Novels of Flaubert B&N volume, and Dostoevsky's The Idiot. So far I've started on Flaubert's The Temptation of St Anthony, quite excellent.
it is indeed one of Dostoevsky's bestQuote:
