    Wow! That is a huge list. I have to say that this list would be similar to a list I would do if I joined the club. Love it! I think this year I will read Siddhartha this year.

    Yay! Welcome to the club :)

    Wilkie Collins’ are great mysteries!! And I hope you do get to pick up Little Women! Lovely book :)

    I still have to get to Don Quixote and all those Dumas! They’re all so big and I’ve tried 3 Musketeers but could not finish a few years ago so it might be time to try again… :)
