(still very much in process) Despite being a pretty well-read person there are many of the "classics" that I've never read. The ones that are on the bestseller lists don't even give me pause, but even when it comes to the people I share similar tastes with, from when I was pretty young I pretty much refused to read what everyone else was reading. Like the movies list this isn't meant as a brag list, and with books I certainly find myself feeling more often like I really should be reading these.
