4) Of Mice & Men (John Steinbeck)
5) Slaughterhouse Five (Kurt Vonnegut)
6) War and Peace (Leo Tolstoy)
7) 100 Years of Solitude (Gabriel García Márquez)
Oh - and a negative on The Metamorphosis - didn't like it.
Check out this list, it's one of those silly "best 150 novels" lists. It's by no means perfect, but it is certainly a decent list of possibilities.
For those of you that haven't read it, read East of Eden. It is AMAZING, I'd be happy to read it again if ya'll want. Same with The Fountainhead. And Anna K. And A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. And 1984... but especially East of Eden.
PS - I figured P&P went without saying...

I thought that there was some casual consensus that we should read Emma. I don't remember who was a part of this consensus...
I think we did decide on Emma. I really would like to do 100 years of Solitude as our "long" book.
