I'll be joining this challenge... and I'm going for the feast!
My six books are as follows (although subject to change, of course :-) )
1.Our Mutual Friend - by Charles Dickens
I've simply fallen in love with the BBC movie version of this story, and want to devour the book now as well.
2. North and South - by Elizabeth Gaskell
Again. Because good books are worth rereading. And this story is simply scrumptious in every way.
3. The Count of Monte Cristo - by Alexandre Dumas
This sounds fascinating, and I love this author's writing anyway, sooo...
4. The Great Gatsby - F Scott Fitzgerald
Because whenever I look at a "100 classics you should read in your lifetime" list, it always strikes me as odd that I (who have read pretty much 80-something of any of those lists) have never read this one. I intend to remedy that.
5. Waking Rose - by Regina Doman
If I had to pick a favorite book, this is currently it.... and I know it's not technically a classic (it's way too new) but it definitely has all the elements of a classic there.
6. Persuasion - Jane Austen
Again. It's a beautiful story.
