Books worth re-reading

Hi there,

Summer is a great time to tackle big reads or to re-read some books that need a second chance or that were forced upon you to be read in a certain time frame that you could have been enjoyed if you were allowed to go at your own pace.  Passive-aggressive rantings aside, here is a list of books I would like to re-read sometime:

1. Lolita by Vladmir Nabokov: the best impulse read I've ever bought in my entire life.  Snagged this before boarding a flight in 2008 and read it on vacation. My edition is all banged up as a result, but it's one of those books that I put down and never picked up again.  Might read it once I'm done my current novel.
2. The Lonely Londoners by Sam Selvon: I don't think any novel has made me laugh as much as this one.  I burst out laughing in the library during finals, I burst out laughing in my room at 1 in the morning, I burst out laughing in a lecture hall.  I had to read this one for a seminar, so I was a bit rushed and had to think a lot about it, although I can appreciate it for just what it is without thinking too critically about it. 
3. The Rules of Attraction by Brett Easton Ellis: I think I mentioned this before, but this novel is one of my guilty pleasures and I'm not even sure why.  I think it's because I like reading it just for the sake of reading it.  It's an easy read, it's hilarious, it's heartbreaking, it has a really good ending that makes you want to throw the book fifty feet away. 
4. Ulysses by James Joyce: I read this last summer and to be honest, I didn't get it, but most people don't.  I loved parts of this novel, and I actually have a quote from the novel stuck to my wall.  I feel like the next time I read this, I will need to have read Homer's Odyssey to better understand it and to appreciate the parallels.
5. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë: Rushed this one for class as well.  Very few books I've read are as beautifully written as Jane Eyre.  I have some reservations about the plot itself, but there is a part of the novel (somewhere at the end of the first quarter) that I absolutely love because of the dialogue between Jane and Mr. Rochester:  the marriage of intellect and vacillation in their discourse that leads up to the proposal makes it probably my favourite love story ever (just kidding, I love it because of its Marxist undertones).
6. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe: I didn't get this one either and I had to read it for an AP lit class in high school.  I couldn't even tell you what it's about.  One of these days.
7. The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky: A big read from 2009.  I spent half of my summer reading this, from taking with me on a three-hour bus ride to keep me company to reading it outside of my classrooms so I wouldn't have to talk to other people.  Also, a really good way to intimidate other English students.
8. Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre: I need to re-read this to confirm that the ending does not involve accidentally selling out your friends to the Nazis, as my professor had insisted upon last semester.

And that's it!  Hopefully I can read them all this summer.
