Ok this I got from a friends blog on homeschool, this is her list but I wanted to have it somewhere so that I could reference it if I wanted to. I am really excited about reading some of these books and reading a few of them to my kiddies when they are a little bit bigger.  My homeschool blog is www.homeschoolblogger.com/dukygurl and the person who posted this wonderful post is subterfamily on my friends list...if this is offensive and I should not post it, I am not aware of that ettiquite...and should I find it to be so I will promptly delete this post.  I would like to reccommend another classic I did not see on the list The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, which I have read and enjoyed.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you own but haven’t yet read.
3) Put a star by those you intend to read someday but don’t own.

and this one is all my own...

4) Put a % by those that you've only seen the movie....then kick yourself.
