For July 28th: What is one book you’ve never read but is always on your “To Be Read List?”

I read this when I was about 22. I loved it then, and have often wondered what it would be like to reread it.
Me too!
Moby Dick
Installer
War and Peace
Infinite Jest.
The kite runner…
The Book Thief, but it’s my next read.
❤️❤️
Loved it!
@Dana Great 🙂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It was the catcher in the rye until last month and I regret not having read it earlier
War and peace
The Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent.. ?
I don’t know.. I was always planning to read it.. But.. You know.. I end up picking other book.. ?
Gibbsville: by John O’Hara…because i live in the town it’s based on. But the size of it has held me off.
I have that on my someday list too as I was born in Pottsville but we moved away when I was six months old. So despite having no memories of it all my life I have had to “remember” it when filling out paperwork. I have often wondered what my life might have been like if we had stayed and I had grown up there. My parents only lived there about 1-2 years so it wasn’t a place they talked much about except when telling me about my birth.
It’s a small world!
mists of avalon
The Brothers Karamazov
The Book Thief.
❤️❤️
Anna Karenina
The coldest winter ever
Moby Dick, trying yet again
Bleak House by Charles Dickens
The Bell Jar
Eleanor Oliphant. It WAS the Stand but I finally got around to reading it.
Eleanor ???
Moby Dick…*so embarrassed*.
Moby Dick
War and Peace is worth the read!
House of leaves. Has anyone finished it?
Yes, and I loved it.
@Kimberly did it take awhile to get through? Is there a way you would suggest reading it? I was distracted by the stories in the footnotes, etc
@Cortenay it takes a while to get used to the stories within the story and the format in which he’s telling it. But it wasn’t as long as I thought because some pages are only a few words.
Anna Karenina
The book thief
What are you waiting for???!!! ?
Is always some other book crossing in the way ?
War and peace
Anna Karenina. Picked it up several times, just can’t get started.
Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons.
The Inheritance Cycle series by Christopher Paolini. I read the first book years ago and own all of them in hardback. They just sit on my bookshelf, staring at me and looking pretty. Also, His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman. Once again, I read the first book years ago and even started the 2nd, but stopped because life happens and never went back. And now adding The Book of Dust to that, as well, since it came out last year. And is a continuation of that ‘verse.
Watership Down. Never read it in my youth, but it has come highly recommended. I just never seem to get around to it.
You will love it!
Such a good book. Loved the movie too.
Such a fantastic book!
First “adult” book I ever read (5th grade)
The same title as Miriam.
Ulysses and Dune
To Kill a Mockingbird. 😮
The stand
My fav
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston
Remembrance of Things Past
Lovely Bones. I’ve had it in my shelf since 2015 and haven’t touched its pages yet. Wish I could set a time to read it, heard it’s a good book though ?
Me too!
The Harry Potter Series.
Pillars of the Earth
Anna Karenina
This is the winter I’ll read it. Then, I’ll tackle War and Peace.
To Kill a Mockingbird
Great Expectations
One of my top 5 all-time favorites. I first read it in Lit class as a sophomore in high school. I’ve read it a few times through the years and love it more each time.
Vanity Fair.
It’s actually a fun one, IMO
“A Heart Breaking Work of Staggering Genius” by Dave Eggers
If you don’t like this one, try David Copperfield.
The Harry Potter series. But I am determined to read it one of these days because I suspect I will love it. So many books, so little time ?
You will!!
So, so many, but lately I’ve been trying to catch 1984 at the thrift store. Also, Catcher in the Rye.
A Tree Grow in Brooklyn. I started it yesterday after many years on my list.
The princess bride.
What are you waiting for? Read that book now!!! Sorry, I just LOVE The Princess Bride.? And if you’re worried about the book-to-movie adaptation, this is one of the most well done, in my opinion. ?
I recommend you get to it in a hurry! This book is magical!
From Here to Eternity
Schindler’s List
Cutting for Stone.
One of my all time favorites.
the King in Yellow
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. It is haunting me!
Gone with the wind
Beach Music.
One of my favorite Conroy books…the other is Prince of Tides. Honestly…all his books are good.
@Cathy I loved all his books, but, for some reason, would start Beach Music and then stop. But this morning, I made the decision to start and knocked out the first chapter!
It’s good…you’re going to love it!
One Hundred Years of Solitude
The entire Bible
Memoirs of a Geisha
Lord of the Ring series ? Narnia. ❤
I feel I ought to read Sterne’s “The Life And Times Of Tristram Shandy”. And perhaps Joyce’s “Finnegan’s Wake”. Or at least make a stab at the latter.
Moby Dick
Mine too.
Anything by Jane Austen.
Moby Dick
Swan Song
Les Miserables
I have them as well I’m not looking forward to reading them.

The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
War and Peace
The lion, the witch and the wardrobe
Duuuuude! Read it already! Let me know how you like it.
I second this. It is amazing. But do your self an even larger favour and read the whole series.
It’s such a good book!!! You have to read it.
It’s on my TBR list, definitely want to get to it this year
So many. Mainly classics like Jane Austen
Middlemarch.
Ulysses by James Joyce. My mom had a record with two Irish actors reading from it. The actress did Molly Bloom’s soliloquy, which is about a girl’s first sexual experience (a happy one). I loved it, and it made me want to read the book. Despite being a lifelong reader, I have not yet succeeded.
It’s a hard book to read, but so rewarding…
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott I started reading this in 2004 and never finished it and now it’s in my tbr list. It has always been since my tbr started in 2004
Lord of the rings trilogy
THE HANDMAIDS TALE
Outlander
