Twenty-five Books: A to Z

U: Utopia by Thomas More :)
Bingo on The Name of the Rose, which is one of an all-time favorites! I'll have to re-read it soon. We both pick the same authors for "O" and "V". I've been wanting to read more of Vidal so I'll check out your selection. :)
Ditto on Anna Karenina! Saramago almost makes my "S" choice but I voted for May Sarton.
If I would only have read the rules...
Dunce cap for me!
An interesting list that I would like to borrow from. Thanks for sharing!
I love stuff like this. My friend Goody Cable did something similar. She made a matrix with A to Z across the top and down the left. Then she filled in a fictional character whose initials fit each box in the matrix. So in the box HC (H from the top/C from the side) she put Holden Caulfield. It took her over two years to complete the matrix.
Oh I could not have gotten past A....that meme is too hard.
what a fabulous meme!
My "D" is for Dickens - I would be challenged to think of the rest.
