Very few books intimidate me. After thinking long and hard I came up with a few.

1. Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray -- It's been on my TBR list forever.  Every time I think about reading it, I pick up this huge book and promptly put it down.  I put the novel on my Summer TBR list, so I better get over my hear and read it!

2. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo -- Another hefty classic.  I almost joined a few Les Mis readlongs I before the movie was released, but I just couldn't push myself to actually take the plunge.

3. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy --  Ahhhh!!!  The Russians are coming.  They are a little too bleak for me...

4. Siddartha by Herman Hesse -- One of J's favorite books.  I just don't love philosophy enough to actually dive into this one.

5. Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein -- I've been working my way through the major Heinlein novels.  This one still scares me.

6. The Cat Who Walks Through Walls by Robert Heinlein -- See #5

7. The Foundations series by Isaac Asimov -- Hard scifi is just not my favorite.  I find it very intimidating.
