I don't think I've read any of these, though I'm familiar with film versions. In fact, a great many of them have been made into films - so they must be good stories, I guess. "Thornbirds" is one that I've thought about reading. And I may have read "Love Story" as a teen. I recall lots of girls at my school reading it.
Who knows where I got most of these titles! Some are books I found here in Mexico (in English). Others I got from a list of novels published in the 1970s. I find it interesting that fear of the "other" and transition was so strong during that decade. Most of these books hold little appeal for me now but I want to read them any way to experience the mindset of the times.
