Keeping Up With the Penguins: Books I've Never Read (But Really Should)

Not me personally, but the author of the KUWTP website. She is a twenty-something self-confessed bookworm, who, while at school, "managed to squirm [her] way out of having to read The Great Gatsby for a book report, or The Catcher in the Rye for an essay."
So by her own admission "here is the full list of Books I've Never Read (But Really Should), all to be reviewed and discussed here on Keeping Up With The Penguins."
BTW, to placate Sean O'Neill (see Comments), I have no idea why the website is named as such. Does it really matter? How about an occasional positive comment?
