I've read six, and parts of three others. (Satanic Verses, Remembrance and Ulysses). A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite stories, although it's not a not a novel technically.


Don Quixote, much like Candide, has a special place in my mind. Hardly a week goes by when someone or something happens that reminds me of either book. A lot of the books listed were required reading in HS and college, but Hawking and Tolstoy are both authors I very much enjoy reading, even if quite a bit of Hawking's material is difficult for me to truly comprehend. I also loved Carl Sagan, and have nearly all of his published works. I wish they'd been my science instructors- I would have liked science a good deal more in school.
