Is there any book in general that I wish will come up? Not really, this time I am happy with the list. Although if Dostoevsky would come up, I am not sure I will be able to finish it before the deadline. But, who knows.
Nice list! I have read 9 of them, and actually #19 is my favorite. #1 is great , but you need to read it in an edition with lots of notes, because it's basically political cryptic message. Emma @ Words And Peace
The book on your list that I haven't read I want to read the most is The Master and Margarita by Michail Bulgakov. You have several others I want to read including The Red and the Black.
The book on your list that I have read and loved the most is The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. The problems in the story are such American problems that I'm not sure others outside America would find them as compelling.
