I don't intend to keep all of these books. I've owned books before that I've given to the library because I lost interest in them, and some in this list will probably go that route eventually.

I never much cared for David Copperfield - a bit of a borefest compared to Oliver Twist.

Legends of Arthur is a little bland compared to other Arthurian works I've read.

Last of the Mohicans is a snoozefest - though I love the 1992 movie with Daniel Day-Lewis.

After the train wreck that was Inheritance, I've lost all interest in Christopher Poalini's work, so Eragon and Eldest are heading to the library very soon.

Edit: Gave Cotton Malone Vol. 3 & Inheritance Vol. 1-2 to the library this morning (Mar. 22), so they've been removed from the list.
