Book Challenge

I recently came across a list of books I wanted to read. I made this list of more than 100 stories several years ago and I'm surprised how many I did not finish or even begin. I could use the excuse that I had two children and moved several times in the last few years as well as lost most of my possessions in a flood due to a hurricane, but that seems pretty lame considering how many things I've read that are not on this list. Below is my list. I put the books I finished in bold and italicized the ones I started, but did not finish.

So, here is my challenge for you: Copy this list and bold the ones you have completed and italicize the ones you did not finish (no, you can't count movies you have seen). Then make your own list of books to read. I'm also looking for suggestions for my new book list. Are there any you recommend?
