Read - 100 Best Novels

How's everyone doing on their reading?  I finished the Uglies series (Uglies, Pretties, and Specials). It was fine - not the best I have ever read, but decent. I'd give it 3 stars out of 5. Maybe I am too far removed from being a teenager to relate to it (although I did enjoy other teen-centric dystopian novels such as The Hunger Games...).


I was checking out this link:http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/100-best-novels/ and I thought it might inspire us to look at classics, or at the very least see which ones we've already read and maybe be inspired to read more! (also be sure to click on the Radcliffe's list too: http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/radcliffes-rival-100-best-novels-list/ 


A few that I want to read:
Catcher in the Rye
1984
Catch-22
Atlas Shrugged (actually tried to read this once and never was able to finish it)


And some that I have read and can recommend highly:
Lord of the Flies
The Fountainhead
To Kill a Mockingbird
Something Wicked This Way Comes
Fahrenheit 451
Watership Down

READ - what are you currently reading?

We're just getting started over on our FACEBOOK GROUP (click to join us! We'd love to have you!), and our current discussion is what we are reading (or what we have just read), and what our goals for 2012 are.

My goal is 12 books in 2012. One a month. These 12 books are FICTION books that I am reading for pure PLEASURE. I am not counting the nonfiction books, study books, or work literature I am reading in this. These 12 books are ones I have been meaning to read but just haven't gotten around to reading.

The first one on my list? The Uglies.

Anyone out there read it yet? I'd love to hear your opinions (no spoilers though)
