I love how our tastes overlap so much. I think I have a Neil Gaiman on my list for the movie category (Coraline I think?). I've never read his stuff, but I'm excited to. Also, I realized just how many books on my shelf I haven't read. I won't have to hit the library or bookstore till March at least! haha.
Jane Eyre - totally in love with Mr Rochester. If you put this one in your movie list, then watch the William Hurt adaptation. I love it! The Lost Symbol was okay, but I'd definitely recommend Angels & Demons more. I really liked the Outsiders and Roll of Thunder. I also haven't read Grapes of Wrath and it may end up in my classics or own but not yet read list. I really liked Les Mis, but it was tough to get through the whole thing. I bought a copy that came in two parts so it didn't seem as daunting because it was two smaller books. Plus I liked March. It was a very interesting view on Little Women. Also, if you like companion books (or whatever it is that they're called when they're the same characters and plot but from a different point of view) I highly recommend Rhett Butler's People by Daniel McCaig. Also the Fitzwilliam Darcy books by Pamela Aiden. There are three and I liked seeing Pride & Prejudice from a male perspective. It was interesting.
Oh, and I agree with the not overlapping.
Why do you suppose the numbers aren't showing up? I have those lists numbered, and it indented them, but I wanted the numbers so I can keep track of how many I have in each list.
