  6. I almost put Rebecca on my list too!

  7. Great list. Rebecca is a favorite of mine. Been meaning to read Eleanor & Park for forever…some day I’ll get to it.

  8. I can’t believe I forgot so many of these from my own list–especially Romeo and Juliet! Great list 🙂

  9. I almost put Rebecca and Artemis Fowl on my list as well. I like that you chose a variety of genres. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

  10. You sure did find a wide variety of characters! Nice list!

  11. I still need to read Artemis Fowl!! I own them all but haven’t picked them up.

  12. There’s definitely a nice variety of genres on this list. I’ve read REBECCA (not my fave) and SNOW FLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN (really liked).

    Happy TTT!

  13. Oh wow, Sula is a title I haven’t heard in ages. I remember studying that book and loving it in college. Great list!

  14. I have read six of the books on your list. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is one of my all time favorite novels. Thank you for sharing!

  15. I should have thought of Rebecca!

  16. Great list! Rebecca is definitely a popular title today and I’m very curious about Oryx and Crake 🙂

  17. I really want to read Artemis Fowl. Maybe I have to find a time to really read it someday.

    Great list!

  18. Wow, I have read #4 and 6-9 but didn’t choose any of them for my list. I think, this week we could have all found hundreds of titles.

    Thanks for visiting my TTT this week.

  19. Rebecca is a favorite of mine! I’ve noticed that not that many people actually used the classics. Good job!

    • Thank you. Yes, it’s not very common to discuss classic books during TTT, but I always enjoy it when people do. 🙂

  20. YAY for the shared “Rebecca” title and also, if I owned “Romeo & Juliet,” that’d have been a great one for my list! 🙂 Fun list and thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland on this week.

  21. Great list! I haven’t read any of these yet, but Eleanor and Park is on my TBR.
