The Great Book List

This list is comprised of books I want to read and books I feel like I should read, which I always forget about when it comes time to actually go to the library. Most of them are classics that I want to have read before I start working on my Bachelor's in literature... so I have a year. I will mark them off as I finish them.

Note: All of the books on the first list are ones I have never read... the other list contains several books that I have read and want to read again, which is why they are not on the primary list. These are in italics.
