Hi Shelley!
 
Happy happy birthday!  I hope it's been exactly what you want it to be and
that this year to come is exactly the same!

Shelley:
I fourth that, Happy b-day.
 
I know it's impolitic to ask how many this is.
 
But you and I first met several years ago on one of those illegal book sites
that we all know about but refuse to talk about. (I'm sure the statute of
limitations is long passed)
 
You were a kid then and I was impressed with your ability to scan. But I
never told you. So, I'm tellin' you now.
 
Happy birthday!
 
Bob

O.k. so I have read 18 of them and attempted to read a few others.



Oliver Twist is my favorite Charles Dickens.



Grapes of Wrath, Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, Wuthering Heights,  and


Tale of Two Cities were all required.  Hamlet was also required.  I loved


Little Women and Ann of Green Gables, and Love Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and


have all of Sherlock Holmes's books. Am reading the Lovely Bone, right 


now,


via digital talking book.  Loved Harry Potter, and Tolkien's Books and


didn't mind some of the Chronicles of Narnia, did not like Pride and


Prejudice, I guess I am just not that accomplished, smile.  Loved Davinci


Code, and Orwell's books, read both of them. Have read the other Dickens.


Bleak House and David Copperfield both in highschool, plus Dracula, and


Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Secret Garden was a favorite of my


friends and mine when we were younger.  You know one I don't see on there


and am disappointed is Frankenstein by Mary Shelly.  Oh, and read Moby 


Dick


after watching the movie, actually fairly close to form, smile, though


definitely not going off on the topic of whaling.  And I did read half of


Les Miserables, got to the part about Waterloo and kind of stopped had to


return the tapes.  But is a good, book, and an awesome musical.  And of


course Alice in Wonderland, smile.


So perhaps more than smile 18.



And I am only as of tomorrow 29.  Smile.



Some of these I do recognize though.



A very intriguing list.

Now, I'll have to actually count...I stopped after 20 (my occasional


competitive streak comes out).



I'm impressed by how eclectic and recent some items on this list are


(Rowlings, Tolkien, Douglas Adams, Khaled Hosseini, Dan Brown, Magaret


Atwood, Frank Herbert, Salman Rushde, Iain Banks, Roald Dahl and many 


more


I wouldn't expect).  I didn't read a single Harry Potter because we had a


radio show by a woman who read children's books (and did voices and all)


who did the first four books. The one I was assigned in high school that 


I


never got through was Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.



Does the "no plays on bookshare" extend to public domain like 


Shakespeare?


And is there really a single volume called the Complete Works of


Shakespeare?  That would make reading War and Peace child's play by


comparison.

That either says that I'm way older than most of you and have had more


time to read, or that my incredibly anal high school and college English


teachers were right on which books we had to read for their classes.
