I am ashamed to say that I have not yet read......

[srboone]

And I was an English major in college. Shameful!!

So was I, that's where my shame come from! I have only read A Christmas Carol by Dickens, so I have any one book by Dickens on my TBR list--whichever one I feel like reading eventually. I've read enough of Mark Twain to know that I don't care for his writings...(Dr. Edwards hated that about me. Oh well...)

[RJK1981]

Dracula by Bram Stoker
Frankenstein by Marry Shelly
Ghost Story by Peter Straub
Friday Night Lights by H.G. Bissinger (have started this before but got distracted and never finished it)

I've always felt as if I should read more Dickens and Twain. I read one work by each because I was assigned the books (A Tale of Two Cities & A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, respectively) in high school. 10th grade in fact. And I was an English major in college. Shameful!!

Books I'm ashamed of not having read:

War and Peace (you're not alone in having this on your TBR list, TerryE.)
The Phantom of the Opera
The Decameron
For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Sun Also Rises
Brave New World
1984
Rose Madder, Duma Key, Under the Dome, Just After Sunset
More books by Laymon and Ketchum (cause the ones I have read were awesome and redefined the horror genre for me!)

I can't recall ever reading anything by Asimov or Simmons, but I'm not ashamed of that.

[TerryE]

As far as modern horror/suspense I guess what I most need to read is most of Peter Straub's work after "Floating Dragon".

Classics would be "War and Peace", "Crime and Punishment" and "The Turn of the Screw". I'm pretty caught up with most of the stuff that I really must read in my life. But I'm sure this thread is going to remind me of some that I need to add to my list.

The worst part is that I've owned copies of each for a llloooooonnnngggggg time.

[Ben Staad]

Maybe I should be 300% ashamed because I NEVER plan to read Asimov again...I hate Asimov and I don't even remember what I tried to read I just remember I severely hated it.

Edit:

[frik51]

You, my friend, should be 200% ashamed of yourself for not having read these classics!

Dracula by Bram Stoker
Different Seasons by Stephen King
The Foundation Trilogy by Asimov


So, what have you been meaning to read for a long time, but just haven't gotten to yet? You don't need to be "100%" ashamed, I will settle for mild embarrassment!!!
