"That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong."
-- F. Scott Fitzgerald
With the recent passing of both Jim Harrison and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the old adage of "So many books, So little time." came to mind. It was also a reminder of the books I probably should have read but haven't.
Both of these authors were so prolific that I know I'd have to get to work if I were to catch up on them. But here is my first confession: Many years ago I started to read "One Hundred Years of Solitude", got about half way through and, for some reason, gave up. News of Marquez's death told me I had to give it another try.
There are many more unread books on my list, but rather than listing them, I'd like to hear which books you think you should have read, but haven't.
