I've always been a big reader and never read most of the above (though of course I am familiar with most of them from movie versions or via discussions elsewhere).
I've been through the not-on-this-list unabridged Les Miserables (back in junior high school!). I'm interested in reading the Satanic Verses (mostly because of the controversy, and because I just heard about it again on Christopher Hutchins' "God is not great:How religion poisons everything."
I've started Moby Dick but never finished. And you couldn't pay me to read A Christmas Carol or anything else by Charles Dickens. So boring. (Well, I take that back, you COULD pay me, lol).
