Spring Writing Gala~Day 8

Well, here I am, and only one day late with Day 8. Below is a  list of some of the books I would like to read. It probably is not an exhaustive list, but just the ones that came to my mind. Even so, this list is a little overly ambitious it seems.

Philip Reeve:
1.Fever Crumb
2.A Web of Air
3.Scrivener's Moon
4.Horatio Nelson and His Victory
5.Here Lies Arthur
6.No Such Thing As Dragons
7.Isaac Newton and His Apple

Anne McCaffrey:
8.Dragonflight
9.Dragonquest
10.The White Dragon.

Frank Herbert:
11.Dune
12.Dune Messiah
13.Children of Dune
14.God Emperor of Dune
15.Heretics of Dune
16.Chapterhouse: Dune

Charles Dickens:
17.The Pickwick Papers
18.Nicholas Nickleby
19.The Old Curiosity Shop
20.Barnaby Rudge
21.Martin Chuzzlewit
22.Dombey and Son
23.Bleak House
24.Hard Times
25.Little Dorrit
26.Our Mutual Friend
27.The Mystery of Edwin Drood
(And in case you think the selection of Dickens's books I have put on this list is odd, you should know I have already read some of his more popular works.)

Elizabeth Gaskell:
28.Mary Barton

29.Cranford
30.Ruth
31.North and South
32.Sylvia's Lovers
33.Wives and Daughters: An Everyday Story

Daphne du Maurier:
34.Rebecca
 
Sylvia Plath:
35.The Bell Jar
 
And like I said, not an exhaustive list. Even now I can think of some others, but this list should give you a taste of what I like to read. Yep, I know. It is pretty much scifi/fantasy and then classics. Weird.
