1984, LotR, Catcher in the Rye, Catch-22, To Kill A Mockingbird, and most of Harry Potter (my boss in Hawai'i was my supplier; when she switched to audio books mid-series, I was cut off 
)
Why isn't it on the list? 
we even used card catalogs at the library to complete our bibliographies.
But not those books. I just about died of boredom when we had to read Moby Dick in college. UGH!!!
(Well, some of them are OK (i.e., To Kill a Mockingbird)
Give me Shakespeare any day. I know he's a poet and a playwright (and hasn't written books, as such), but he's tops, in my book. 
Never does it become dull and to be able to quote The Bard (when apropos) is heaven!
"sigh"
In a more civilized world where it would have represented a real career with decent pay and prestige I'd have become a Professor of Literature, Humanities or Art History.
Edit: In a quick scan of the longer list of all 412 "books" (some responses are actually authors and there's a few presumably non-serious responses like "car usage manual" there's about a total of 20 I haven't read.
Best use I ever found for it. 
And to be perfectly honest, I haven't read (or finished reading) any in that list. The "classics" never interested me much. Although I did like Homer's "The Odyssey" when I had to read it in university.
I prefer science fiction, especially that from the "Golden Age." Oh wait. I forgot. Classicists don't consider "sci-fi" to be literature
I started and discarded "Crime and Punishment" and "Anna Karenina." I read about four pages of "Ulysses" and decided it was verbal vomit. I have no interest in "Fifty Shades of Grey." I may read "Infinite Jest" one of these days. I have read all the rest, some several times (Tolkien, Lee). "A Tale of Two Cities" is my favorite novel ever.
The Double Bind.
I liked The Great Gatsby but preferred The Double Bind.

I read Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and 1984.
I attempted to read The Lord of the Rings in high school but never got through the third book. Watched the first film and remembered why I never finished the books. 
I read the Reader's Digest Condensed version of To Kill a Mockingbird.
I read the whole Bible and became a pagan. I was intrigued by those other gods that aren't supposed to come before the biblical one. 
That's why I never finished the series; my boss would give me the books as she finished them, but she switched to audio books in mid-series. Some commenters have noted that the last two sucked, anyway.
I tried to read Fifty Shades this week, omg. I cannot believe anyone read that book through. seriously!?
I haven't read Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings or the Bible or War & Peace, those type of books don't interest me. But Anna Karenina, Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, Great Expectations, The Great Gatsby, Pride & Prejudice and books like those I have read.
Beyond the books on this list, I've also read a lot of European history books, and Foucault's pendulum. I love European history, I'm fascinated by the Knights Templar et al, and the Kings and Queens and Architecture and Castles of that region. I have a lot of gorgeous old leather bound books about those subjects that were passed down to me from my Grandfather.
