I have 125 books listed as 'unread' on LT (a fifth or so of the total - I'm so ashamed) and yet, interestingly, only Quicksilver is on both that list and mine.
Oh, Oryx and Crake, too, but after hearing so many bad comments about it I decided not to tackle it.
And do read Crime and Punishment! So powerful. It completely sucks you in - you can feel the miasma of guilt choking Raskolnikov. In a rather masochistic way, my brain used to always demand to reread C&P shortly before exams, because my guilt at reading rather than studying put me in exactly the right mood for it.
I confess I'm a Tess-lover, but different parts of my brain are responsible for those different loves.
