Hi...I like to read. A lot. Actually most of these books I picked up in 6-8 grade, because I loved classic literature. Very few of these were read initially as a required reading (Moby Dick being the main exception. I will never again read that novel unless I HAVE to). I should pick up the few on here that I haven't finished completely 8|a I hate leaving a book unfinished.
