Most of you know, that I had a old blog that got deleted, as I was going through the old posts on that blog, I found this post in which I have listed some books for Dewey's challenge. I thought if all of us who have made lists like that, can come and put them all together... we might have a huge list of books that Dewey read!! I don't know, if anyone has done this, but if it has been done, I would love to contribute ~~
I have gone through her archives till Aug, 2006 - and here is my list so far~~
- Into the Forest by Jean Hegland
- The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen
- The Virgin Blue by Tracy Chevalier
- The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
- Property by Valerie Martin
- Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant
- Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks
- Saturday by Ian McEwan
- The World According to Garp BY John Irving
- Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
- Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson
- Kindred by Octavia Butler

- A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
- An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
- Looking for Alaska by John Green
- East of Eden by John Steinbeck

The above list of books are my fav recommendations from Dewey, and so they will remain for me to choose my next books!
But I have decided on the 5 books I am going to read!

Your to-read list is great!
I am not much of a list maker--except for shopping lists (and occasional "to do" lists). : )
Great list of books. Enjoy reading them :)
This looks like a terrific list. I love The Curious Incident, Year of Wonders, and A Thousand Splendid Suns.
Here are the books that I read for the challenge. I'm including links too, because (at least before Dewey's blog went down) I was quoting what she thought of the books too, so that might be interesting for some people.

What a sweet idea, Veens!
1. Gifted - Nikita Lalwani
2. The Uncommon Reader - Alan Bennett
3. The Complete Persepolis - Marjane Satrapi
4. The Post-Birthday World – Lionel Shriver

What a great idea to keep a list of Deweys books!
I read the following for the challenge:
Invention Of Hugo Cabret - Brian Selznick
Before I Die - Jenny Downham
Tale Of One Bad Rat - Bryan Talbot
American Born Chinese - Gene Luen Yang
Westing Game - Ellen Raskin

And I think I may have jotted down a couple of other titles from Deweys blog. I'll take a look for them and add them if I find the notepaper.
