I was forced to read most of these books for school, or I added them to my cart on Amazon.com just to reach $25 and get free shipping. I am by no means a literature freak. By the way, I never actually read the Bhagavadgita; I don't know why I have that on my shelf. 

I know, the titles should be italicized, but I don't have time for that.
