To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

  Great book.  If you haven't read this one, add it to your list.
Interestingly enough, this book was popular reading in communist countries
because of how it pointed the racial inequities of the USA

The Bible

  I enjoy reading the Bible, especially the historical books like Acts, 1st
and 2nd Chronicles, etc.  They are even more interesting when you have other
historical documents to compare it to.

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR Tolkien

  Excellent.

1984 by George Orwell

   Another one of my favorite books.

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

   I have it, but have not read it.  It is on my medium list.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

   Never read it.  Probably never will.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

   Never read it.  Probably never will.

All Quite on the Western Front by E M Remarque

   Never read it.  Could be interesting though.

His Dark Materials Trilogy by Phillip Pullman

   Read it.  It was okay.  Can't say I agree with its placement on the list.

Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks

   I know nothing about this book.

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

   Never read it.  It is on my long list.

The Lord of the Flies by William Golding

   Good book.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon

   I know nothing about this book.

Tess of the D'urbevilles by Thomas Hardy

   Never read it.  Probably never will.

Winnie the Pooh by AA Milne

   Very enjoyable.

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

   Never read it.  Probably never will.

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham

   Haven't read this one.  I have it and may work my way to it one day.

Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

   Never read it.  Probably never will.

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

   Haven't read this.

The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

   Never read it.  Probably never will.

The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

   Never read it.  Probably never will.

The Prophet by Khalil Gibran

   Never read it.  Probably never will.

David Copperfield by Charles Dickens

   Third Dickens book on the list.  Haven't read this one either.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

   Never read it.  Probably never will.

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

   Never read it.  Probably never will.

Life of Pi by Yann Martel

   I have actually heard of this book and I want to read it (My educational
background is in mathematics and I enjoy reading books like this.).

Middlemarch by George Eliot

   Never read it.  Probably never will.

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

   Never read it.  Probably never will.

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess

   Haven't read it but I probably will at some point.

A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich by Alexander Solzenhitsyn

   Never read it.  Probably never will.


Books I would add:

The Great Gatsby -  The great American Novel.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Wonderfully irreverent.
Dune - The depth of this book is incredible.
Ender's Game - If you haven't read this, do yourself a favor and pick it
up.  It is sci-fi in theme, but there is so much more to it.
The Godfather - better than the movie.
The Bourne Identity - The prototype for today's spy thriller.
Snow Crash - Hard to describe this book.
The Hound of the Baskervilles - Or another suitable Sherlock Holmes novel.
Foundation - I periodically reread the first three.  Don't like the latter
novels that much.
Hucklberry Finn or Tom Sawyer.

I am sure given time, I could think of more to add.
