I actually went to the bookstore about eight years ago with a list similar to this and bought a ton of classics I hadn't read yet and made it a goal to read them. I really enjoyed some of them, and hated others. I have a few to go. I have read 52 books on this list, but I don't have any aspirations to read the ones I've not yet read. Not sure why Bridget Jones is on the list, maybe because of the parallels to Pride and Prejudice. The book, (Bridget Jones) however 'chick lit-ish' it was, was a fantastic read though.

Probably the ones I most enjoyed were the female-themed ones like Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice, Rebecca (which is a fantastic old Hitchcock black and white movie), The Secret Garden, The Colour Purple, Memoirs of a Geisha,etc. And, my favourite of the list would have to be Dracula.
