This is an impressive list, Margaret. I remember studying Don Quixote in school. And I keep telling myself I ought to read The Idiot; I’ll be interested to see what you think of that one.

Thanks, Margot. Don Quixote has been on my TBR list for a long time, so it’s time I read it.

This is a fun list! I’ve read The Pickwick Papers and I liked it a lot. I’ve also read Gulliver’s travels for school but I got bored by it, but maybe it’s because I was forced to read it :)

I have started to read Gulliver’s Travels in the past, but didn’t get on very well. I’ll come and visit your blog.

Don Quixote is very long – over 1,000 pages! So daunting.

I missed North and South when I was making my list. I haven’t heard of Mary Barton, will have to look into it. Have a great week!

I think I have PTSD from reading Moll Flanders in high school.
