what if weve already read some of those?

You don't have to read them over unless you just want to :).

for one, they all look like books for people older than me, and have a million other things I'm reading now

IDK what age group they all are. I would think YA. And I understand about having too many other things you're CRing.

I've only read Frankenstein so far, but I'm hoping I can read other books such as Wuthering Heights and The Scarlet Letter (because I already have the books)

my sister would probably win this because she has to read some of those books for school

Well, that seems like a great reason to haev to read the books :).

Ayunda: I have The Scarlet Letter, but I don't think I will have time to read it. I will try, though :).
