Classics you know you should have read but probably haven't

Description
I know I feel guilt at the number of works I feel I ought to have read, but haven't quite managed to get round to yet... Well, let's try to prioritise!

Explications
JalenV: I listened to an audio copy from my local library. I was amazed by how much punishment poor Oliver's body takes near the end and he managed to survive. Nice kid -- interesting, considering his upbringing.
ahef1963: Too depressing for my liking.
Arrashid7: I read in high school. A great book! A tip ~ don't ever watch movies first!
MyFathersDragon: I was bored in 6th grade and read anything I could get my hands on. I liked Dickens, so I read a lot of his stories.

aulsmith: I've read a lot of this, but I mean to sit down and read it all the way through someday.
sturlington : Read at least in part in high school
JalenV: Had a summer job once where, after I wrote my weekly report, there was nothing to do. I decided that would be improve my mind day and read then. It did give me a glimpse of how cultures differ when a well-born youth pretending to be a kitchen boy didn't hold it against a well-born young lady for the way she mistreated him when she didn't know who he was.
aekd: no interest

sturlington : Read in high school.
electrice : read
JalenV: Had to read it in high school.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read it. Hated. Read it. Loved it.
MyFathersDragon: I knew some of the high school English classes read it. I knew it was considered a classic. So, I decided I would read it. I did not like it. I am glad I read it, so I know what people are talking about when they bring it up, but I wouldn’t read it again.
