Been a long time since I read any fiction book, just for the fun of it. Some of these I think I might have read, or maybe I just read the Classic Comics version...

A Tale of Two Cities - it was the best of books, it was the worst of books
The Canterbury Tales - read this when I was old enough to snicker at the Miller's Tale...modern translation, of course.
Great Expectations - req. in jr high, I think
Memoirs of a Geisha - just sold MIL's copy on ebay, was I supposed to read it?
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - read it, liked it better than the movie.
David Copperfield - my aunt had me read this when I was way too young to absorb a tome of this size, but it did leave me with a lifelong appreciation of Mr Dickens. (BTW, I also read the book version of A Christmas Carol)
