I've read all but two, Shute and Blyton, and I am considered a troll who needs elephant tranquilizers, whatever lesson to be drawn from that. :x

Let's see.. I've read:

Lord of the Rings
Jane Eyre
Harry Potter
To Kill a Mockingbird
1984
The *first* book of His Dark Materials. Does that count?
Little Women
The Hobbit
The Time Traveler's Wife
Grapes of Wrath
Alice in Wonderland
Persuasion (I. Hated. This. Book. So. Much. :x )
The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe (Wait. Isn't this part of the Chronicles of Narnia?)
The Kite Runner
Memoirs of a Geisha
The Da Vinci Code
Of Mice and Men
The Lovely Bones (I hate this book even more than Persuasion.)
Charlie & the Chocolate Factory


Also, I've read "Android Karenina" but not "Anne Karenina." :lol:
I think I read "Anne of Green Gables" and "The Secret of Garden" when I was in elementary school, but because I remember nothing about them, I won't include them.

I've read 39 for sure and maybe 2 or 3 more that I can't quite remember (I know the stories so well, I can't remember if I know them from watching or reading).
