Read the Easton Press 100 greatest books ever written

I would like to read the 100 greatest books ever written.

I inherited this collection from my father. They looked superb on his bookshelf but I have no place for them. I counted out 93 individual titles so if anyone is interested feel free to message me at sonofkizersoze@hotmail.com .

I am still deciding which volume to start with, but I will do this!

Read Wuthering Heights last night (Edward was right… more like a hate story than a love story!!).

Started Crime & Punishment this morning!

Robinson Crusoe coming in the mail =]

I finished this one since my last entry on this goal. Enjoyable. I can understand why it is a classic. Not exactly a rip-roarer.
