I'm glad to be able to say I've read The Old Man and the Sea, The Three Musketeers, and The Scarlet Pimpernel (I may or may not have read the latter two previously, perhaps in abridged versions long ago in school). The first two I disliked, and the last I thought was good, but not a big wow.
The Radium Girls and The Great Halifax Explosion provided information about events I knew nothing about.
I skipped two books--the Fry and the LeGuin. If there'd been audiobook versions available at my library, I probably would've forced myself to get through them--but, having followed the comments, I'm quite happy I couldn't borrow them.
I'm lukewarm on The House on the Strand--I wanted to like it more than I did. I hated Never Let Me Go and Dandelion Wine.
My favorites were Passing and Alias Grace, probably because of the strong female characters and the elements of ambiguity. And murder.
