New Years Resolution #4

OK, so my fourth new years resolution was to read a certain number of book off of the BBC's Big Read list. Many of these books I read way back in middle and high school. If I don't really remember much about them, then I am not counting them as having been read and will endeavor to re-read them. That being said, this is my list for 2010. There are many books that I feel BBC should have included that they didn't, but that is why I made my BBC list goal small (20 books) so that I could include these others (and fun books) as well without making it so daunting a task that I would not be able to complete it. Here are some of the BBC books I want to read/re-read/finish:

1. Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens (currently in the process of reading)
2. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (currently in the process of reading)
3. Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell (want to re-read)
4. To Kill a Mockinbird (hardly remember reading)
5. Winnie-The-Pooh by A.A. Milne (have, but actually have never read!)
6. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (have actually never read this one...started, but that doesn't count) :)
7. Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
8. Wuthering Heights (have only about fifty pages or so left, but never finished)
9. The Catcher in the Rye (have read all, but about 60 pages or so...need to finish!)
10. Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy (somehow missed this one)
11. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (haven't read this one)
12. David Copperfield by Charles Dickens (never finished years ago)
13. The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens (been awhile)
14. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (never finished...have you seen how long it is??!!)
15. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (I love Oscar Wilde! My fave story as a child is actually an Oscar Wilde short story, "The Selfish Giant")
16. Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackery (never finshed...it's another long one)
17. The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingslover
18. Animal Farm by George Orwell (just want to re-read)
19. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy (it's sooo long! Never got through it)
20. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky (been a long time and it's a goodie)
21. Ulysses by James Joyce
22. Bleak House by Charles Dickens
23. Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
24. The Little Prince by Antoine de Staint-Exupery
25. Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
26. On the Road by Jack Kerouac
27. Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews

Ok, so I have included more than 20 here but at least I have options for my 20 if I just can't get through one of them. That way I can still stick to my list of 20, but also have some options. :)

Now to try and get through some more of A Tale of Two Cities. It has 15 chapters and I am going for at least one chapter a night. I am reading Brave New World concurrently.
