TBR List

Here is the intimidating list of books I own but haven't read. Minus some political books I'd rather not read and discuss in this forum. Some of the list is a bit embarrasing - there are items I bought at library book sales while I was in high school, over 10 years ago. Um, yeah, that's what I need to challenge myself to read the books I own to clear these out! Some of these I may decide to donate rather than read or just skim some of the non-fiction works that are more for reference. Also, can someone explain to me why I felt the need to buy SIX works by Henry James when he's got such as reputation as a difficult writer and I've only read one short story by him?!?! Why???  That's a lot of James in my near future. I am excited to get to some of the other classics from my library though and read more books by authors I love like Dickens and Thackeray.

Items with links means I've read and reviewed them, items with strikethroughs means I read them but didn't review.
