40 Books We've Actually Read... From a Movie Fanatic

So "The Great Gatsby" is a novel that I've read. Picked it up in paperback from a used bookstore in Wilmington, NC, several years ago. Of course, I've seen the two main film versions of the book. Here are 40 books 'we've actually read' (I try to use 'we' instead of 'I' whenever possibly; I don't know why, and perhaps you shouldn't question that, right?!"). As always enjoy, and please check out my movies and travel lists if you can. This happens to be my very first books list!!!!
