I've read about 3/4's of the options but other than Harry Potter and War and Peace (of course!), I'll never read any of them again. (though I'll happily watch The Taming of the Shrew)<BR><BR>
LOTR - I read as a teenager (who didn't). Thought it very slow and a lot of the descriptive prose truly awful. On given a copy of the book I can make any Tolkien fan squirm with embarrassment within 40 seconds. It is not hard :-) <BR><BR>
Foundation - also read when I was a teenager so I guess I was too old to appreciate it.<BR><BR>Steppenwolf - well I guess we all go through that phase.<BR><BR>Gravity's rainbow - was good but not (IMO) worth re-reading.<BR><BR>Where are the Homer, Virgil, Jane Austin, Cervantes and Patrick O'Brian (couldn't resist adding) options?
