I have a lot of those.
Lord of the Flies Catcher in the Rye Grapes of Wrath Jane Eyre A Tale of Two Cities A Farewell to Arms Catch-22 The Sun Also Rises For Whom the Bell Tolls Atlas Shrugged And to my ultimate shame: Native Son Black Boy And I didn't read Great Expectations, Pride and Prejudice, and 1984 until I got to college. I don't believe I got through high school (and two AP courses) without having to read them. |

^ You'll get to The Scarlet Letter and Catcher In the Rye later in the year, if you haven't already (I'm pretty sure they didn't change the reading list for Honors English..)
Oh, and I KNOW what you mean and I hate that this list is so large.. >_< To Kill a Mockingbird Great Expectations Pride and Prejudice Moby Dick 1984 Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? The Picture of Dorian Grey Clockwork Orange Merchant of Venice Death of a Salesman A Farewell to Arms The Fountainhead Atlas Shrugged All the Pretty Horses Grapes of Wrath The Great Gatsby A Midsummer Night’s Dream Of Mice and Men A Tale of Two Cities One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Jane Eyre Wuthering Heights A Raisin in the Sun The Taming of the Shrew Song of Solomon I probably missed some.. And I didn't read Animal Farm & The Bell Jar until just a few months ago. XD |

Must look for a written list of this; it's somewhere in my desk. This topic makes me feel ashamed of myself.
 Lord of the Flies Grapes of Wrath Slaughterhouse-Five Catch-22 Fight Club (I'm, like, 5 pages in.) The Scarlet Letter (I have the e-book.) Pride and Prejudice (I have the e-book.) The Picture of Dorian Gray (I have the e-book, though.) The Fountainhead Fahrenheit 451 (Haven't finished it and I doubt I will anytime soon.) A Midsummer Night's Dream Hamlet Animal Farm (I have the e-book.) To Kill a Mockingbird (I have the e-book.) Merchant of Venice The Great Gatsby Jane Eyre Brave New World (I have the e-book.) The Hobbit Anne Of Green Gables A Christmas Carol (I haven't read the book itself.) I know there are a lot more. Well, from reading the few replies in here, I don't feel as ashamed anymore. =P |

- 1984
- Catch-22 - Catcher in the Rye - A Farewell to Arms - The Giver (I know, I should've read this like 6 years ago) - Old Man and the Sea - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk (it's sitting patiently in the living room) And pretty much anything Shakespeare. Although, I don't really enjoy reading Shakespeare, so I don't exactly feel bad. |

Hmm.. Let's see.
I never finished the vampire chronicles. I intend to do so, but... meh. I feel suffocated if I think of the books I want to read just this year [until 2007 starts]. From The Scarlet Letter to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Murder and Punishment, Wuthering Heights, Frankenstein and The Ring of McAllister. I also never finished LOTR, or anything by Tolkein properly. The way he writes bores me, but then again his vocabulary is prolific. There are many other books I regret not reading, but I will make up for it, eventually. :( |

 Don't worry guys, size doesn't matter...to lesbians Group: Member Posts: 2,444 Joined: Jan 2005 Member No: 85,066 |
We had to read Catcher in the Rye for 8th grade. Half the class liked it and half the class hated it. I was a little neutral about the book. It would've been okay if Holden wasn't so god damn whiney about everything. I read a Tale of Two Cities as an extra credit... it was a little boring in the beginning and the fact that it described unnecessary stuff and went on explaining details that has nothing to do with the chapter made it very very very boring. And it was hard for me to memorize the names of the characters. I only memorized the Mannettes since their last name was just... recognizable I guess. My class is going to read Lord of the Flies at the end of the year..or somewhat in the middle of the year.
I do feel bad because I didn't get to read How to Kill a Mockingbird. It was an optional book for my year and then we have to read it next year... I kinda wish I read Midnight's Summer Stream.. or is that how it goes? |

My friend has been trying to get me to read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged forever. I'm going to have to give in sooner or later.
Then there's also: - Moby Dick - Last two books of the Vampire Chronicles - The Bell Jar - The Odyssey And I really need to read some Terry Brooks. |

The Color Purple
Don Quijote The Giver Great Expectations Pride and Prejudice Moby Dick The Fountainhead Grapes of Wrath Jane Eyre Wuthering Heights Animal Farm Catch 22 Da Vinci Code <---I've read about 1/2 and then my mom stole it back. I am suprised at some of the books that those my age haven't read. I read Brave New World, 1984, A Tale of Two Cities, Lord of the Flies, The Picture of Dorian Grey, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and a few others, sophmore year. I also read most of the Shakespeare mentioned in high school as well, not to mention Catcher in the Rye, The Great Gatsby, Death of a Salesmen, and The Crucible, the last two both sophmore and junior year. |

Trust me, there's a LOT more. In eighth grade, I read a paraphrased, watered-down version of Hamlet, and I have to read a paraphrased, watered-down version of The Odyssey now. (I'm in ninth grade.) I know it's harder, BUT WHY CAN'T THEY JUST MAKE US READ THE ORIGINAL?  Oh, and I need to read more Tennessee Williams dramas. I've only read The Glass Menagerie. Plus, Catcher in the Rye. |

I'm 15, and I read Jane Eyre when I was five. It's excellent. All of you absolutely MUST read To Kill a Mockingbird. It is hands down one of the most amazing novels ever written. My list:

I felt bad for not reading 1984, but I started reading it yesterday. I'm almost done with it. I also really want to read Ayn Rand books, such as Atlas Shrugged and We The Living. I have essays by her as well as her novel, The Fountainhead.

Wow.. I work in the library during 2nd period.. so my list has grown to.. pretty much every book in the library.
I have a habit of reading the first half and last chapter of books. I wish I had the time and patience to read the full books. |

I'm going to add The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai and The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri to my list. The latter book is apparently more enjoyable than the movie.
I hope I can cross these and others off my list soon because it's just starting to build up.

uhm wow, that's alot.
i don't really keep a list and i can see 'To Kill a Mocking Bird' on every one of your lists. My sister had to read that book for school, but anyways, mine would have to be, 'Twilight.' every Lois Duncan/ Amelia Atwater-Rhodes book there is. and... all of the 'Cirque Du Freak' series. xxx |

Well, up until a few weeks ago I'd never read Lord of the Flies, and I've always wanted to read To Kill a Mocking but have never got round to it.
I also want to read Animal Farm, since I've never read any Geroge Orwell *hangs head in shame*.

One post isn't enough to list them all, but here are a few.
Catch-22 The Da Vinci Code Catcher in the Rye The Scarlet Letter Great Expectations Jane Eyre A Tale of Two Cities (but I did watch the movie; it was really sad) Oliver Twist Frankenstien The Giver QUOTE Scott Westerfeld's Uglies trilogy. There're actually four books now - "Extras" is the latest. I read the first one, and it was really good, but I just couldn't bring myself to read the second one. I checked it out from the library and all, but it just sat there collecting dust under my bed before I had to return it. |

I read The Giver in grade 6, and I really didn't think much of it at the time. I was so immature and giggled every time they said someone was 'stirring' in their sleep. Looking back, it was actually a fantastic book.

I remember feeling like I should have read The Da Vinci Code when everyone was raving about it years ago. Now, not so much. I would like to make my way through The Divine Comedy. But I have only read Dante's Inferno. Oh, and, Catcher in the Rye.

A walk to remember
The princess diaries The notebook (I borrowed it, but can't bring myself to read it lol) Grapes of Wrath Catcher in the Rye pride and prejudice Alice in Wonderland The wizard of Oz Animal Farm The art of war The Sherlock Holmes stories (I'm going to read those soon ^-^) The willy wonka books. Lots more I can't remember. Gosh I call myself a reader. Shame on me. lol! Well I'd read more, but its hard to find books cheap where I live. Then again, most of these are classics and I should be able to find them somewhere. I'm to blame for my laziness haha. |
