askim's challenge list

What a great introduction! As little r. said, I am a fellow book enthusiast, and I've taken up this challenge with her. Personally, I think it's awesome we're nerdy enough to get excited enough to blog about it! :)

Well, without further ado, here's my list:

** Note: I avoided collections, short stories, and anything else that might not be considered a novel (except in a few cases).

A : Inferno by Dante Alighieri
B : Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs
C : The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer
D : A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
E : Parzival by Wolfrag von Eschenbach
F : The Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald
G : Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
H : Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
I : The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories by Washington Irving
J : Dubliners by James Joyce
K : On the Road by Jack Kerouac
L : Passing by Nella Larsen

Q : Zazie in the Metro by Raymond Queneau

Another thing I must note, where it's been possible I've been buying the QP black spine Penguin Classic book, so they look all nice and neat next to each other on the self. :) If not possible (as in the case of Tarzan of the Apes) I've bought the MM Signet Classic edition (also published by Penguin).
