Classics We've Never Read

Ok, everyone list at least 5 "classics" they've never read, but would like to, (this point is very important) in the comments section. Maybe, just maybe, there will be one in common!

Grapes of Wrath (Steinbeck)
Middlemarch (Elliot)
Lolita (Nabokov)
Possession (Byatt)
The Idiot (Dostoevsky)
East of Eden (Steinbeck)
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Carroll) - hadn't thought of that one!
Catch-22 (Heller)
Great Expectations (Dickens)
As I Lay Dying (Faulkner)
The Catcher in the Rye (Salinger)
1984 (Orwell)

I know there are more, but that's definitely a start.

I am thinking Dara really wants The Wizard of Oz as she listed it twice. :) Actually, I would not mind adding that one to my list as well. Is Wicked a Classic???
Gulliver's Travels and Grapes of Wrath are 2 more I would like on my list as well. Got to do Grapes of Wrath being from OK.
