By the way the list looks I'm going to assume you don't like fantasy, but if you do The Shanara series should be in the top 10.

I guess not, either that or I didn't receive a chance to read or review those.

This just seems like a list of literature that an English teacher would suggest. I say that because I've read quite a few of these in an English class. Personally, I despised some of them. (Like Grapes of Wrath.) So...I don't know. I guess it's a decent list, but these are all just classics from before our time. What about the books now? The ones that we read currently that could easily become classics?

As I said, decent list. Yet, it reminds me of an English class.

I based them off of books that I've read through. A lot of them are very detailed and interesting believe it or not.

I know a lot of them are very detailed. I read some of them in my AP English class this year.

I don't know, I guess I'm just more of a non-classic reader. I mean, classics are fine. They just aren't what I tend to read.

Well, during school I'll read before class starts. Or if we have like, study hour or something I'll read then. Plus I can read on the bus ride to school. I read at home a lot. Lol, I've been surfing these forums and reading at the same time before. It helps that I read fast too. ;)
