Interesting list. OotP was the only one I knew, but the rest sounds interesting. I'm always on the lookout for new books to read.
Thanks for visiting! I'll have to admit, I've never read "The Great Gatsby."
great list! I admit I hadn't heard of most of them, but I'm intrigued!
so, were they all good? i like to read but too cheap to buy books andd too lazy to return them to the library.
I loved the Great Gatsby! My TT is up.
Whoa, that's quite a list. I wish I spent more time reading. I'll have to check out some of the books on your list. My TT is up.
Interesting list. I read The Great Gatsby and only the first HP book, my son has all of them and I really want to read them, but I cannot blog and read, lol!
I hate to say it but I have not read any of these !!!
Those are some fun books. I guiltily admit that I liked Berdorf Blondes. ::shhhh!:::
My 13 is up!
I am TOTALLY printing out your list and looking up some new material for reading. VERY good list of books. Love it.
Interesting list! I haven't heard of most of them, but some of the titles sound intriguing.

Have only read a couple but The Heart is the Lonely Hunter is sitting on the bookshelf waiting for me.
My TT is up now
is this your first time reading the harry potter books? I ask, because I've read them all about 5 times. :) I enjoy them so much
I haven't read a sinlge book on your list. How sad is that?
that's a pretty diverse list- Gatsby & Bergdorf Blondes. I can't get through Gatsby, I try every couple of years. thanks for stopping by my tt.
I love to read. Biographies are my favorite, but some historical novels are good too! Your list is awesome. If I had my way......nothing around the house would get done...only reading.
My T T is published
I'd like to read #9. That sounds like that could be very interesting - I used to be a waitress... oh the stories... Harry Potter is the only one I've read and waiting very impatiently for the final book to come out... I'd like to read The Great Gatsby sometime. :)
The only one on your list I have read is Harry Potter. Which book is/was your favorite?
Thanks for coming by.
Some of those titles look interesting - I'll have to check them out sometime.
My TT is up.
Oh I was just thinking about picking up The Great Gatsby. I haven't read that in ages.
You have a great list of books here! I LOVE Harry Potter!
Happy Thursday
that is a great list..I read alot too...:D
Wow, you and Chaotic Mom are just so literate! :)
Great list. I almost did the same thing on my funny site today. As you know mine are up at both sites!
As much as I like to read, I must really be behind! I only recognized two titles on your list: "The Great Gatsby" and "Harry Potter," both of which I've read.
Well, I'm way behind on Hemingway, so what would that tell you about my reading habits?!?
Mine are up!
this reminds me of how many books I am currently in the process of reading. I really should stop and finish one at a time..lol
great list..I love reading but haven't read any of the books on your list. Not even Harry Potter! Can you believe that...I must be the only person not to have read that yet!
Happy Thursday!
Thanks for visiting me. :-)

ok, so which ones do you like the best? i'm totally intrigues, and you KNOW i've got the time to read. do tell. :)
Loved the Great Gatsby enough to read it THREE times, lol. Happy TT!
isn't harry potter great? you should try the shopaholic books. they are totally chick flick books but i love them!
visit me if you have a chance :)
Okay, I haven't read any of the great literary pieces of our time, but I have read all of the Harry Potters. Whoo hoo!
Two great books on your list -- Gatsby and The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. Good job!
AC
Good choices. Thanks for dropping by.
I like the list of books. It gives me some more books to look into because I LOVE to read--so thank you!
Cool! I'm an avid reader also. Thanks for sharing your list!
Great list..I haven't read a one...eeks :P
Wow, that's a long list. I'm embarassed to say I've not read any of those though. Now I'll have to check them out!
Thanks for stopping by!
I've only read 3 & 4 on your list!
Ooo, great list! Got some good ones there
Happy Thursday!
Great list! I wish I could read more! I'm sooo behind! I'll have to copy some of these down & check them out! :)
On your list I read HP...I need to check out some of the other titles!
Happy Thursday!
Looks like we have similar taste in books! I actually haven't read many of the ones on your list (though I was an English major, so I read The Great Gatsby several times), but we like similar genres. That's nice to see!
Any recommendations from this list. I have to spend my $86 credit at the used book store before we move!
Me again. I forgot to say: Thanks for coming by to visit my blog
Great list of books! I don't think I have read that many in the last 5 years. :(
Happy Reading. I love Carson's work.
Take care,
Frances
Fun list. I've always wanted to read The Great Gatsby. I'll have to get on that.
I've only read two of the books on your list. I'll have to check some of these out when I'm done reading my current stack. :)
My TT is up.
I haven't read a single one of those books. Shame on me!
Thanks for dropping by my TT.
Wow! I haven't read any of those...
...thanks for stopping by my site:)
I need to print that list out! I'm always looking for new reading material. :)
Happy TT day!
amazing at all the book people i run into to... i wonder why i was never a book person?
Wow - I have not heard of one single one in your list. But then again, I am not into reading currently. Some of the book titles you have listed I will check out though :)
They all sound good. I LOVE Harry Potter books, in fact I think I dreamed about them last night. The other books sound interesting. I read Gatsby in high school. I'm thinking of rereading some of those again, but my To Be Read pile is too big now!
My TT is up.
My Danes would love your chihuahua..they love little dogs! Anyway, books...try "Angry Housewives Eating Bon-bons" by Lorna Landvik. Excellent book! Thanks for the book ideas by the way. My TT is up. If you have a linky that says *you*..it's me..it's taking a while to show my name.
I read The Great Gatsby 10 years ago, and the Harry Potter book, but I've never heard of the others... time to expand the old horizons!
I've heard that "Waiting" is really good! I'll have to try some of the others on your list. (Well, I read Gatsby in high school...many, many moons ago!)
Great 13! Mine is here:
http://natsthename.blogspot.com/2006/05/thursday-thirteen.html
too many blogs to read these days and kids to juggle for me to read as many books as you have had recently.
my TT is up.
I love the Harry Potter books!
I haven't read any of the other books on your list but the Great Gatsby is on the list to read!
Wow, a whole new list to go look at. Thanks for sharing. My TT is up!
Hey I don't want to spam your comment box with URL links but if ya want the linky to the HP paper drop me a email. Tiggermom45324@yahoo.com
Thanks for dropping by mine. ;)
Just want to say thanks for visiting my TT today. I appreciate your stopping by to comment! I haven't read ANY of the books you listed but I'll be sure to try a few as I am an avid reader.
I just read The Birth of Venus (kind of a snooze) but now I'm reading Beautiful Lies by Lisa Unger. Looks to be great!
Posted my very first TT today! Hi.
cool list! i am not a book reader so it amazes me to see people who can list 13 books! i mean, i used to read, but i am in school and am only reading textbooks at this point!
thanks for coming to my T13!
You have eclectic taste--great list.
My TT is up.
Wow, you got a lot of visitors today, I got a late start to getting around to visiting the TTs for everyone. Those are some good books. I love the Harry Potter movies and I am sure the books are even better. My list is up!
I have a book list up as well, and none of your books are listed. I'll have to add them to my list.
I can't get enough books. However I've always found it difficult to delve into two at the same time.
So you read more then one book at a time also. Thanks for stopping by. Sorry it took so long to get here but yesterday was like being a guest on Mr.Toads Wild Ride.
I'm a Harry Potter Addict! I love the series (books and movies). I bought book 6/Half-Blood Prince (latest) the day it was released and finished reading it a week after. LOL. I hope you get to read all 6 books. JK Rowling's amazing!
Love your books! I too loved Bergdorf Blondes...I'm a huge fan of mindless reading. In the midst of My Sister's Keeper right now, which is fabulous.
