    I'm in 8th grade so this may be a little over my head.

    The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (All of his books pretty much)
    The Count of Monte Cristo by Alex Dumas
    War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
    Commentaries on the Gallic Wars by Julius Caesar
    (Currently reading) Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, quite possibly the funniest book I've ever read
    The Histories by Herodotus
    2061: Odyssey Three and 3001: The Final Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke
    Fahrenheit 411 by Ray Bradbury
    Moneyball by Michael Lewis

    And some countless more I forgot. I think this will be a bit tough for me to accomplish within a year though. I read 350 pages of Catch-22 in 2 1/2 days though so I have some confidence.

    Rep points are very nice.

    I still want to read:

    Origin of Species
    Remembrance Of Things Past (Hey, I have read 100 pages so far)
    Seven Pillars of Wisdom

    • The Fall of the Roman Empire - Vols. III-VI by Edward Gibbons
    • Europe: A History by Norman Davies


    It's ironic that I have half of Gibbon's books and the Europe one, but haven't finished them yet.
