I'm with you on many of these, although I don't know how you escaped "Catcher in the Rye" being assigned to you. IMO, "Catcher" is seriously class-bound, time-bound, adolescent-focused and these days would be published as a YA.

HOWEVER, please reconsider "War and Peace." I read it in the depths of grief after my father died, and it was just the thing. I would have liked some maps or timelines (to keep up with "war") but otherwise, was captivated.

As general rule, the newer and more popular the book, the less likely that I've read it! :)

I would say glad you skipped out on : Crime and Punishment and The Hobbit. Those weren't my favorites.

I did like Paradise Lost though...and HP. No worries. There's so many books to read it's not like we're going to have a shortage we'll eventually get to the ones that "everyone" read :P

Certainly everyone has different interests. But I'm wondering what criteria you used to put a book on this list. Isn't it kind of hard to judge a book you haven't read, or at least tasted?

I am also such a bookworm and glad to have stumbled on this blog.
