Hello all! I'm late to this party, but that's all right since the categories are the main draw to me. I don't need these finished by 2009, I just want to make sure I read them.
The categories are:
Books I really ought to have read by now,
Feminist works,
Fiction by women,
American fiction/drama,
Russian fiction/memoir,
French-related books to prepare me for studying in Paris,
and Nonfiction hodgepodge: atheism, physics, sociology, and history.
...and I call myself an English major: Gaping holes in my reading
King Lear
Mrs. Dalloway* (also counts for fiction by women)
The Canterbury Tales
Inferno
The Aeneid
Gulliver's Travels
Paradise Lost
The Iliad
Feminism
The Second Sex
Sister Outsider
The Dialectic of Sex
Ain't I a Woman
The Female Eunuch
Unbearable Weight
killing rage: Ending Racism
Toward a Feminist Theory of the State
Fiction by women
Middlemarch* (also: gaping hole in my reading)
Mansfield Park
Villette
The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas
Frankenstein* (also: gaping hole in my reading)
Delta of Venus
Orlando
Wide Sargasso Sea
American
Moby Dick* (also: gaping hole in my reading)
Johnny Got His Gun
Bend Sinister* (also: Russian)

The Enchanter
Invitation to a Beheading
The Defense
Speak, Memory* (also: American)

History Lessons: How Textbooks From Around the World Portray U.S. History
I have nearly all of these. The four exceptions are The Canterbury Tales, which I'll need for a class this fall anyway; The Sun Also Rises; Sentimental Education; and God Is Not Great. This makes me appreciate my library.
