I am a huge fan of reading lists, in all their many and varied forms. Last week's 'Books on Books' post was about one of my favorite recent novels, The Marriage Plot, which is at its core a novel about readership. Thus, the below list of titles read by protagonist Madeleine:

Of Grammatology by Jacques Derrida

Writing and Difference by Jacques Derrida

A Lover’s Discourse by Roland Barthes

Portrait of a Lady by Henry James

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

Persuasion by Jane Austen

Emma by Jane Austen

Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton

Love Story by Erich Segal

The Madwoman in the Attic by Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar

H.M. Pulham, Esquire by John Marquand

Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope

Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser

The Role of the Reader by Umberto Eco

On Deconstruction by Jonathan Culler

Myra Breckinridge by Gore Vidal

Daniel Deronda by George Eliot

Middlemarch by George Eliot

Paradise Lost by John Milton

Also of likely interest to fans of the novel is this interview with Jeffrey Eugenides about his favorite books, what he's currently reading, and what volumes he uses in his writing workshops.
