I actually italicized Tess of the D'Urbervilles because it was the first Hardy one and I like Hardy, and then I just didn't bother to italicize anything else he wrote ^^;;

I tried reading Watership Down, and I got distracted by something else partway through and never went back. The movie traumatized me as a child. I should try it again!

I bet you're right about that. Did you mean you'd read 69 of the books or number 69? I read something by Salman Rushdie (not the Satanic Verses) and I can't remember if it was Midnight's Children or not O_o
