For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.

Wow, those are some really great books! Love a lot of them :)
I'm glad to see East of Eden on your list. I'm looking forward to reading it.
What a wonderful question to ponder. I often say to someone who's reading a book that I loved "I envy you being able to read this for the first time."
Thanks for stopping by Summit Musings earlier.
I am embarrassed to say that I still haven't read The Bell Jar. The Kite Runner is one of my all-time favorites though!
Other than the Harry Potter books, I don't think I've read any of the books on your list... Which means I'm looking forward to some awesome, mindblowing first reads in the future :) YAY!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
You're right - I'm sure the Harry Potter books are on lots of lists.
Oh great list! i think this is a fabulous list idea. I'll have to make my own.
love your list! i agree on a lot of them... but i will have to pass on the scientists! :)
love pablo neruda:
"so close that your hand on my chest is my hand. so close that your eyes close as i fall asleep."
love it!
Catch 22 was one of my favorites. Nothing like hearing the story, any story, for the first time.
Hey! Thanks for stopping by my blog!! You've got some wonderful books listed!!
East of Eden and Gulliver's Travels were both great first reading experiences for me, and I would revisit them for sure.
Come visit my list at The Scarlet Letter.
The Bell Jar and East of Eden are both great choices!
I would love to experience Harry Potter again for he first time!
The Kite Runner was amazing!
