Sorry... got busy working.

There are 5 books in each series, so 10 total.

I just started reading the Elenium not too long ago, but it is decidedly not as good... different world, different characters.

I know some people that swear by Catcher in the Rye. Heart of Darkness can be a very difficult (slow) read. I started it twice in college and put it down both times. Have you read A Brave New World?

No Faulkner?

I was trying to decide what to pick of his works and I searched my library's website. They have compilations of his works that have books grouped by time period. I may read them all. They also have a collection of selected short stories of his.
Also, I recommend Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe.

done and done

Thanks for the recommendations.:hi:

I also added the Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I read it in high school, but that has been a while.

It looks to like a personal development book - Some hand writing activies are included. Did your comes with a half-size notebook called 'Application Supplement', too? Author is Stephen R. Covey. Has anyone read any of his work?
