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.

Must look for a written list of this; it's somewhere in my desk. This topic makes me feel ashamed of myself. sad.gif

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
