Total read: 44, not including the 3 "I thinks."

Total I plan to read: 5

There are several on the list that I've started, but don't remember finishing, or owned, but can't remember reading even though I know what they're about. I'm 90% sure I've read the "I thinks," but as a teenager I read everything anyone gave me. I'm pretty sure I've read Vanity Fair, for example, but I don't remember it, so I didn't include it. And there are a couple, like Anne of Green Gables, where I think I read them, but the movie I saw has eclipsed anything I've read, so I 'm not sure anymore.
