Time Magazine puts out a list of the 100 Greatest Novels in Ehglish Since Time began Publishing, and thus everyone must confess how much if one has read.
I've read the following:
- Animal Farm - George Orwell
- The Bridge of San Luis Rey - Thornton Wilder
- Catch-22 - Joseph Heller
- The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
- Death Comes for the Archbishop - Willa Cather
- Go Tell it on the Mountain - James Baldwin
- The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe - C.S. Lewis
- The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien
- 1984 - George Orwell
- To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
- Watchmen - Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons
In these cases I've read a different book from the same author:
- The Blind Assassin - Margaret Atwood (I read The Handmaid's Tale)
- The Golden Notebook - Doris Lessing (I read several of the "Shikasta" novels)
- The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck (I read The Red Pony)
- Native Son - Richard Wright (I read Black Boy)
- The Sun Also Rises - Ernest Hemingway (I read The Old Man and the Sea and The Pearl)
- Ubik - Philip K. Dick (not sure about which one here)
On my list of "to reads":
- Appointment in Samarra - John O'Hara
- Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh
- Invisible Man - Ralph Ellison
