The Outsider
In Cold Blood (so creepy)
Animal Farm
1984
Scoop
Madame Bovary
A Study in Scarlet
The Big Sleep
1984
The thing is, for people who like this kind of thing, they've probably read these things many times, starting years ago.
But, who knows? Maybe Coltrane can dig it. He's a child, right?

Why would you think I don't like the books you like? Do I come off as uneducated or something? Is it the reality tv references? I haven't read any Austen since high school or college, but I really enjoyed Pride and Prejudice when I read it. And I loved Madame Bovary and Animal Farm/1984 back in high school. Big fan of F. Scott Fitzgerald too. I can't believe that dtb just called me dumb!
I am not particularly a rereader of books. Rarely have the desire or the time to do so, so books I read for classes way back in the plestocine era aren't things I discuss on the boards much. There are classics that I've been meaning to get around to though*, and I need a list to keep these things straight.
*Finally read Vonnegut for the first time last year, for example.
