  ♥ Top Ten Most Intimidating Books ♥

What makes a book intimidating? It could be size... I mean, have you seen some of the monstrosities out there? It could be the raving lunatics. We've all been there. *We* loved a book so we go on and on about how great it is. That filters out to the rest of the world, and, oops ~ we've scared people off. What if I don't love it like all of these people? Is something wrong with me? ;) Of course not, but that doesn't mean I won't shy away from it if everyone seems to be all about it. Or, what if it's a series and I'm afraid of how it will continue/end? Or a book by an author I love and I'm afraid I won't love it as much?  And classics? Don't even get me started on those. C'mon... great literary works are supposed to be adored by all, right? So, what books am I intimidated by?

Shiver - I have loved/enjoyed every Maggie Stiefvater book I have read. What if I don't this one?
Jane Eyre - I'm supposed to be reading this for a discussion with two friends, and I'm shying away from it. It's a classic, that's what I do.
Rose Under Fire - I LOVED LOVED LOVED Code Name Verity. What if this doesn't live up?
17 & Gone - An author I really like raved about this one. I bought it. Now it sits. ;)
Gone Girl - Came highly recommended by a friend; what if I don't like it?
To Kill A Mockingbird - Need I say more?
Jane Austen (in general) - I've never *gasp* read a Jane Austen novel. Classics just scare me, I think.

What books are you intimidated by?
