10. Atlas Shrugged — Own several copies but have only read sections of it, never cover-to-cover (Have read The Fountainhead)
9. On the Origin of Species — Nope.
8. Les Miserables / A Tale of Two Cities — No, but I read a lot of old American and English novels in college: Bleak House, Vanity Fair, Moll Flanders, Pamela, The Vicar of Wakefield, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, etc.
7. 1984 — Nope.
6. Democracy in America, The Federalist Papers, and The Constitution — Read them all in college.
5. The Wealth of Nations — Have read parts. I own very nice two-volume hardcover reproduction of the original that I got from the Laissez-Faire bookstore in the early 1980s and refuse to part with.
4. Moby Dick — Read it as part of a summer course in at Columbia. Read lots of it on the subway and train between NJ and NYC.
3. The Art of War, Sun Tzu — Nope.
2. The Prince — Yes, in high school.
1. Ulysses — Another book that I own but have never finished. I also owned a record of the first chapter. I can tell you that the novel begins with the words “Stately plump, Buck Mulligan....”
Some “classics” I have never read include Animal Farm, Catcher in the Rye, The Old Man and the Sea and the Grapes of Wrath.
My daughter and I engaged in a mutual hymn of hate over that book in carpool while she was having to read it for school.
She turned our discussions into a critical paper and got an "A"! :-D
But I'd definitely read Animal Farm.
