Booking through Thursday
This is this week's discussion
We’ve all seen the lists, we’ve all thought, “I should really read that someday,” but for all of us, there are still books on “The List” that we haven’t actually gotten around to reading. Even though we know they’re fabulous. Even though we know that we’ll like them. Or that we’ll learn from them. Or just that they’re supposed to be worthy. We just … haven’t gotten around to them yet.
What’s the best book that YOU haven’t read yet?

I think this week's discussion could be closely related to my last post concerning the Daily Telegraph article on reading habits.
However as I have already 'casted my vote' in the 'Telegraph' poll I'll concentrate on books on my bookshelf that I intend to read one day.
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver has been sitting on my shelf for years and it remains unread. There is no particular reason for it remaining so I just haven't picked it up, even though it has achieved numerous good reviews.
One of my favourite authors is Anne Bronte and although I have read 'Agnes Grey',
My mood seems to influence my choice of books and sometimes a light , happy read is needed whether it is on a 'list' or not.

Have got and read The Poisonewood Bible though. Very interesting and certainly makes you think of someof the things that were done in God's name. I enjoyed it.
I'd like to read The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, too. :)
