    More to add to my list:

    - The Picture of Dorian Gray
    You'll love it. I'm pretty sure if you love the Vampire Chronicles, TPODG will be very much your thing.

    Which reminds me, I need to read Queen of the Damned. I read the first two, but I just don't have time to read at the moment, which is really pissing me off. Queen of the Damned has been sat on my shelf for about six months now Disgust

    The Bell Jar. A couple of weeks ago, in a rare moment of sulky drama, I turned on my heel away from someone, straight down the corridor and into the school library, seeing as how it was straight ahead and entering gave me an appearance of purpose which could not have been achieved if I had simply walked until I reached a dead end and then turned back. I waltzed over to the adult fiction (A.K.A all the highbrow literature, seeing as how it's only a little library and it's all they have room for), picked up The Bell Jar as a prop, sat down and read the first three chapters. I adored it. When I have time to read again, I will celebrate by checking that book out of my local library. It's just In Love

    I really want to read Fight Club and other Palahniuk books.
    Alice in Wonderland has been sitting on my shelf for yonks and I haven't had the chance to get round to it yet.
    I want to read some more Shakespeare too.

    I'm dying to read Chuck Klosterman books. They just sound fun. True, I hate books about goths, punks, or any kind of person I'd like to identify with, but it's Chuck Klosterman!

    ^ The one I'm reading atm. Such a great book ^^

    :think:
    I really wanna read "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka. I randomly came across the summary of it and thought it sounded interesting.
    "Vamped" by Davis Sosnowski, because someone recommended it.
    I also wanna read "Invisible Monsters" and "Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk, since I've already read "Haunted" and loved it.

    I have to read the Metamorphosis for uni. I think it sounds really cool :tehe:

    Is Haunted really creepy? My friend said it was really disturbing, and she's usually not disturbed by much. Invisible Monsters is really good, one of my favourite books. :cute: it's one of those books that you just have to highlight and write out your favourite quotes. In Love

    I have a list in Word of books I want to read :tehe: It's got 47 books on it so far, although I haven't updated it in a while. It's mainly classics that everyone except me has read :XD

    The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde :tehe:

    It's my favourite play, and I love the film too, but I've never actually read it.

    I love to read, and I've read quite a lot of books but I'd like to read Queen Of The Damned, the last one in the Interview With a Vampire series. Because I haven't had chance to read it yet.
    I'd also like to read Catcher In The Rye, I never did get to read it, it's had a lot of good reviews from my friends how have read it.

    Most of the books that are already posted in this topic, I have read and really like them. Like Th1rteen R3asons Why and Boy Meets Boy (I finished it two days ago) and the Vampire Academy series and more. They are all really good. :)
    I actually have lists made in my room (I'm chilling at my mom's work right now) for books that I can check out at the public library and books that I can't but are at Barnes&Noble.
    Some that I can think of off the top of my head are:
    Blood Promise by Richelle Mead (not out yet) [Vampire Academy]
    The Awakening by Kelley Armstrong (not out yet;; 27 days!!) [Darkest Powers]
    Oh My Goth by Gena Showalter
    Identical by Ellen Hopkins
    Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli
    The Book of Luke by Jenny O'Connell

    Looking For Alaska by John Green. I've only heard good things about it, and ever since I read Paper Towns I've been desperate to find it.
    The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.
    Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson. The subject interests me.
    Choke by Chuck Palahniuk--I would have read it by now, but I haven't gotten a chance to buy it.
    All of Ellen Hopkins' books. What she writes about and her style of writing both fascinate me.
    And Tweak by Nic Sheff.

    Hmm...let's see.

    -Wuthering Heights (I'm currently reading this! just started, interesting so far even though my friend stopped reading it claiming 'I hate that book, it's creepy!' Well, not really my friend.)

    -Catcher In The Rye (In progress! Just started that one too...)

    -Animal Farm. (My same friend--more like ex-friend-- had to read it because for our summer reading last summer we had to read 'Lord Of The Flies' and her mom said she couldn't read it because it would scare her. She ended up getting freaked out over animal farm too, so... o_O)

    -Lolita.

    -One Flew Over The Cukoos Nest.

    PS- For you guys that haven't read 'To Kill A Mocking Bird', saw a couple. Great book. Read it last month. =) Awesome book. Plus, ha ha, I love Harper Lee's name. Harper Lee? That's just a really cool name. Lol, =)

    -Adds some more to list-

    ~Catch-22

    ~All of Anne Rice's books.

    ~Lock And Key by Sarah Dessen.
    (I've read 2 books by her. I just read 'the truth abotu forever' and was sort of dissapointed. I prefered 'dreamland' which is about this girl with an abusive boyfriend. =) It made me cry.)

    ~Fight Club
