The Great Gatsby is one of the most fascinating books I’ve ever read. As someone else has already mentioned, I need to go back and read some of his short stories and other works. Fitzgerald’s a great story-teller, and he just keeps you enchanted by the spell of his words.

I have to agree there will never be enough time to read everything, but that doesn’t mean I won’t enjoy what I do get to read. You have a great list of books – I have Crime and Punishment and the Great Gatsby as well. I promised my hubby I would read War and Peace this year, so making it my first read for Spring Reading Challenge. Thanks for visiting my blog.

I have the same issues with the infinity of books and limited time. I can only hope my belief that heaven has a heck of a library is true.

I'm a wee bit interested in reading War & Peace and Crime & Punishment, but I think Chekhov ruined me for Russian literature. I doubt I'll ever get to them, but then I never know. Too many other books that have higher priority like Stranger in a Strange Land, a couple Neil Gaiman, the Omnivore's Dilemma, etc... So much to read so little time!

We’ve got similar type of books! Growth of the Soil is on my list. Tolstoy and Dostoevsky are regular books I teach. I’ve got so many but when I reflect upon the type of writing style that appeals me the most, I narrow it down to a short list.

At first I couldn’t make of the question because it really depends on what best is. I’m reading a very popular book that I’m probably the last person on earth to read it. Gone with the Wind.

I totally agree, Rob. Three lifetimes isn’t enough!

East of Eden is also on Mt. TBR. I love Steinbeck, much to my mother’s disagreement, and he’s also one of my daughter’s favorite authors. I read both War and Peace and The Great Gatsby in high school, and want to reread them again. Gatsby will probably happen a lot sooner though, lol…

The only one of your list I’ve read is The Great Gatsby. Loved it.
