Oranges are not the Only Fruit, Jeanette Winterson

A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess (gulp)
Catch-22, Joseph Heller (i WILL get down to reading this)

The History of Love, Nicole Krauss
The House of Mirth Edith Wharton
To the Lighthouse Virginia Woolf

The Scarlet Letter Nathaniel Hawthorne
Middlemarch George Eliot
Chance Joseph Conrad
The Blind Assassin Margaret Atwood

“Does no one want to know the truth here, Mr. Archer?
The real loneliness is living among all these kind people who only ask one to pretend!”
