   I did the exact same thing with The Alchemyst. I bought it and left it for about a year. But after I read it, I felt so stupid for waiting! It was great!

   LOL! Something better always comes along… like IIS! And you haven't read any JA? I'd recommend Persuasion. It's MY FAVORITE so that is all that matters.

   I haven't read most of the books you listed so I can't tell you if you are missing out. But I would give Jane Austen a try…or watch a movie and see if you should go for it.

   Emma's my favourite Jane Austen, you should definitely give it a try. It even features in my top ten list this week!http://sophiasbookblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/top-ten-tuesday-rewind.html

   Gregory Maguire can be hit or total miss with me. He just isn't a consistant writer for me. So, personally, I can see why you haven't picked it up. Plus, some books end up like that on my shelves too.

    Haven't heard of some of these but the complete novels of Jane Austen must be huge! No wonder you haven't picked it up yet! lol

    Very interesting Top Ten list topic. But I definitely have quite the library of books that are on my bookshelves for months on end and have not been read yet. The current books are: Water for Elephants, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and The Pillars of the World. Here is my Top Ten list.~New Follower

    This was a fun one that I actually wrote about the first time around. You should give at least one Jane Austen a try, though a friend of mine, whose taste in books generally meshes well with mine, just professed that he just can't do Jane Austen. Oh, well.

    OMG Jane Austen is my idol! I would definitely recommend starting with Pride & Prejudice =) It's the classic. But I also totally love Persuasion and Northanger Abbey. I'm behind on my Tolkien too =

    I agree with Missy about Persuasion being great. So was Emma. (I love Jane Austen.) Also, you need to hurry up and read Mirror, Mirror. I read Wicked and still have mixed feelings about the book. I'm not sure if it's worth all the hype, personally. I want to know if Mirror, Mirror is the same way.
