The only one on your list I've read is The Handmaid's Tale,
but I have books 9 and 11 in my never-ending TBR pile.
I'm talking about Madison this week
I've only read the Time Traveler's Wife and really enjoyed it. I want to read the Dewey one after catching it on Teaser Tuesday this week. Maybe after I finish Little Women I can see about Dewey. It is the book that never ends. LOL
I'm more than a little embarrassed to admit that I still haven't read The Book of Lost Things (which you discovered on my blog). Oops! Looks like I need to move it up the list, especially since it's been waiting almost a year now. The Handmaid's Tale is also sitting on my shelf waiting patiently.
Great list!
Excellent idea for a TT list. Isn't it awesome how many books yoou can find out about through web sites and blogs. It's really cool. I haven't done a TT list in a long time, I've got to get back into the fun.
What a wonderful way to honor BBAW and the joy of a discovered book! I am personally thrilled if I can influence one person to read something I've enjoyed. What an excellent list! Thanks for the mention!
Sound interesting!
*hugs*

My TT is at http://paigetylertheauthor.blogspot.com/
I don't know how bloggers find so much time to read. My reading has been cut way back to make way for writing.
i just finished reading Time Traveler's Wife last week. i really liked it. i have been an avid fan of margaret atwood since high school. she writes great dystopian fiction.
What a great list of books! I didn't know you discovered Dewey on my blog! You must comment next time so I can visit you in return :) Good thing for GoogleAlerts
Great way to honor other blogs! I wish I kept such good records. It's hard enough to keep track just of the names of the books I've found through blogs!
I'm taking notes, I've only read The Handmaid's Tale & Perfume from your list & I'm always looking for new books to check out.
Funny about Perfume, it's not a new book, I read it when it was first released in 1988, no one had heard of it then, now more than 20 years later I find it on many people's favorite book lists.
Ooooh! This list sounds good! I'm going to have to check some of these titles out, myself!
Cool list of books, lots of new reading for me to check out.

I like Handmaid's Tale...Happy T13.
I absolutely loved The Time Traveler's Wife. It is such a beautifully written book. I can only imagine how hard it must have been to write it. Very cool list. =)
I've read a few of these. I'm always looking for good reads so i added a few of these to my B&N list.
Embarrassed to say I haven't read any of those.
great list of books my friend could definetly use your help when she was looking for great book to read
Great list. Makes me want to bookmark this post.
Really great list of books. I've wanted to read the the Wordy Shipmates ever since I saw it on Sandy's blog.
And I'm the last in the world to not have read Water for Elephants....
So pleased to see Albert made your list.
I havent read any of these book,s but now you have suggested them i think i might have to :) great list!
Ah, The Dewkster! He was quite a cat, wasn't he? I keep hearing good things about The Time Traveler's Wife. Someday, when I make a dent in this TBR pile, I'll pick it up.
I've read the Handmaids Tale, Time Traveller's Wife and Suite Francaise and loved all three.
I've been meaning to read Perfume, Water For Elephants and Dewey. All are ones I've found so many great reviews from, which is why I want to check them out.
