My List (What to Read Next)
OK, I've come up with a list of authors/titles that I would like to read, but might not without some extra motivation. It's random and off the top of my head, so I'm sure there are other things I would enjoy that I've left off. And it's slanted pretty heavily toward the 20th century. I'm going to put the actual list as a comment so you can come up with your own before seeing mine and being influenced by it. And then add yours as another comment, of course.

Never read the Grapes of Wrath, but I think it might be good.
