Must-Read Classics

by Colleen Barrett 5

My favorite New Year's resolutions are cultural ones — they take determination, but are also kind of indulgent. Last week I asked which books you were determined to read in 2011, and the majority of you named classic works of literature. Here are 15 books you plan to read in 2011.

• Great Expectations, Charles Dickens
• Waiting For Godot, Samuel Beckett
• Gulliver's Travels, Jonathan Swift
• Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
• Middlemarch, George Eliot
• Dracula, Bram Stoker
• Madame Bovary, Gustave Flaubert
• Moby Dick, Herman Melville
• The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoyevsky
• Three Lives, Gertrude Stein
• The Mayor of Casterbridge, Thomas Hardy
• A Passage to India, E.M. Forster
• Vanity Fair, William Makepeace Thackeray
• Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy
• The Egyptian Book of the Dead, Robert Winston
