Lol I had the same problem, Anna! (I have that huge purple book so I only read it at home too and I'm barely home)
I'm planning on reading Vanity Fair, and the rest of Austen's books that I haven't finished, and the Count of Monte Cristo.

Russian author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn passed away last week - he was 89 years old and he had a very interesting life, to say the least. Now I want to read his book "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich", I'll see if I can find it at the bookstore tonight.

I want to finish the rest Jane Austen's, John Steinbeck's and F. Scott Fitzgerald's works, plus fill in some gaps in my reading. For example, I've never read anything by the Bronte sisters, Hemingway or Dickens! I'd also like to read some Thomas Hardy, Henry James and Virginia Woolf.

I intend on reading at least one work by each of the Bronte sisters, Halie. I've already read Jane Eyre by Charlotte, so my others are Agnes Grey and Wuthering Heights to cover Anne and Emily. I already have them both, I just need to read them.

Jane Eyre is the only Bronte sisters I read (so far). I have Agnes Grey and I want to give Wuthering Heights another try.

I really want to read The Bell Jar, Oliver Twist, Jane Eyre, and Wuthering Heights. There are definitely more but that's my main focus right now.

I actually tried to read it few weeks ago, but I just couldn't read it, I guess I wasn't in the right mood for confusing greek classic.

I'd really like to read Tolstoy (Anna Karenina & War and Peace), also I love Dickens, so I really want to read all of he's books.
