  2. Both of your lists are interesting. Both seem to have a lot of long books on them.

    For the Classics Club list I hope you get Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? so that I can see what you think of it. I have only read The Man in the High Castle by that author, but I am interested in reading more of his books.
