    Anything? I don't think I've ever actually read a single "famous" book

    I haven't read the "entire" Bible, but a good portion of it when I was younger.

    Probably like many others, the bible. I have tried many many times, different versions and even languages, but I just can't get through it. I really want to eventually though, same with the quran.

    Also the Song of Ice and Fire books. I tried multiple times but never managed to get past the chapter where the Starks first lay eyes on King's Landing. I hate the description of the city so much that I can't move on from it or change my opinion of GRRM's writing.

    Tale of Two Cities. Definitely one of my favorites.

    Probaly either the Harry Potter books, or H.P Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu and some of his other novels (not sure how "famous" you can consider the latter)

    I can't imagine reading all of certain books in the old Testament of the Bible, as they are simply recitation of names...pages and pages of it. And one book that lists the Commandments...almost 600 of them. Gets tedious.
    "Song of Solomon gets a touch pg13 raunchy. (An odd duck in the OT.)

    Alof of them, lord of the rings, a song of ice and fire, the bible, 1984 to name a few. Planing on 1984 though as i do enjoy my dystopian settings.
    Do you hear the voices too?

    A ton. Of all the acclaimed novels you'd see in a 'greatest' list, I've only read a few.

    Weird to see the Bible listed here. It's not intended to be read from front to back... it's a collection of inaccurately translated scattered writings, edited over time to fit someone's preferred interpretation, and then thrown together into 1 of any number of 'versions' of the word of god.

    Well, I speak French so I would first say that I have never read anything from Marcel Proust, and I've been told he's an excellent writer. So I intend to read some of the tomes from À la recherche du temps perdu.

    From Quebec litterature (my people), I never read Bonheur d'occasion, from Gabrielle Roy.

    As for anglo-saxon litterature, I have never read anything from Jane Austin. So, I may try Pride and Prejudice one day.

    I never read The Divine Comedy, from Dante Alighieri either. Or War and Peace or Anna Karenina from Leo Tolstoy or The Karamazov Brothers, from Fiodor Dostoïevski.

    Lord of the Rings. I know I should. I know. But dammit, it's so big... I just can't get to reading it.
