| Alr kinda ripping off @fleurbleue's movie thread here but anyways, are there any like really popular or classic books you have yet to read? Alright, so I only got seriously into reading like last year so I have a LOT of popular books I still haven't read but here's quite a few popular books/series I still haven't read (Most of which I'm planning to): Any Dostoevsky, any Faulkner book, War & Peace, Fahrenheit 451, any Sherlock Holmes book, Brave New World, The Catcher In The Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Handmaid's Tale, any Harry Potter book, any Maze Runner book, any Divergent book, Any Colleen Hoover book, The Da Vinci Code, The Alchemist, any of the Fifty Shades books (i'm NEVER reading the fifty shades books though lmao), Memoirs of a Geisha, Dracula, Interview With The Vampire, The Notebook. and honestly I'm just gonna stop here because it's honestly kinda embarassing the number of popular books I still haven't read ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ Now what popular books have y'all not read? |

| From your list, I only read 4 (Any Dostoevsky, any Sherlock Holmes, Brave New World, any Harry Potter). I don't think people read books here. |
 |
| a lot :P but maybe by typing more to satisfy the character, my mind will magically absorb every single book ever written :o |
| misato > asuka > rei |
| I admit that I don't read as much as I probably should. It would be easier to list ones that I have read: J.R.R. Tolkien -Lord of the Rings trilogy -The Hobbit -The Silmarillion -Children of Hurin Robert Jordan -The Wheel of Time volumes 1-4 Frank Herbert -Dune Dostoevsky -I've read two chapters of Crime and Punishment months ago. Stephen King -The Shining That's not counting stuff I was forced to read in high school. |
  |
| I've never actually read Harry Potter, would that still count as popular despite how long it's been? |
 |
| The War of the end of the world 2666 The dark tower Who Moved My Cheese? Lemony Snicket The wizard of Oz The picture of dorian grey |
   |
| I have yet to read anything by Homer. |
| ใใฎ็ฎใ ใใฎ็ฎ๏ผ |
| Lots of popular novels i have yet to read, even lots of stuff from within my wheelhouse (fantasy and sci fi) i have yet to get around to, mainly cause i'm quite a slow reader all things considered. But i'll give a list of popular books from my high priority list that i'd like to read within the next couple of years: Tha Stand It Neuromancer The Gunslinger Uprooted Alice in Wonderland The Complete Edgar Allan Poe The Hero of Ages (As well as all the other Cosmere novels) Watership Down |
 |
| I didn't read most of those, the question is if I want to, and honestly the answer is probably not. |
| I still haven't gotten around to reading any of Stephen King's works. |
 |
| I am excited to read Malazan book of the fallen this year |
| Everything on my Goodreads to-read list or owned-but-not-yet-started backlog with over 2 million ratings: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer The Fault in Our Stars by John Green Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank Where the Crawdads Sing by Celia Owens The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson Angels & Demons by Dan Brown The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins Lord of the Flies by William Golding The Help by Kathryn Stockett Fifty Shades of Grey by E. L. James The Book Thief by Markus Zusak The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold Little Women by Louisa May Alcott The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden Brave New World by Aldous Huxley 1984 by George Orwell The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien The da Vinci Code by Dan Brown |
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |
| The Bible.......... |
| From the books I own physically, I still haven't read War and Peace by Tolstoy, mostly because of how long it is. Also, I got it in an English edition, and since it's not my first language, I'm afraid it might be a bit too difficult to get through. Aside from that, I haven't started Don Quixote by Cervantes yet, and a few months ago I read about 30 pages of The Magic Mountain by Mann, but I haven't continued it since. |
| I've read like no classic literature, and as far as popular goes I've only read Twilight and Hunger Games. |
| 1984 The Hunger Games Day Of The Triffids Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy A Clockwork Orange Moby Dick The War Of The Worlds Lord Of The Flies Alice In Wonderland I have all of them in my collection, just haven't started them yet |

"Popular books you have yet to read?"
I haven't read The King in Yellow yet.
I haven't read The King in Yellow yet.
| @Absurdo_N Despite the anthology's fame, fewer than half the volume has anything to do with "The King in Yellow." The rest are weird romance stories. I'm partial to "The Demoiselle d'Ys." |

| @Lucifrost If this is true I don't want to read it anymore;_; I already had a bad experience with Dracula:V Thanks for the advice:D |
| I am going to be honest, only books I have read is Diaries of the Wimpy Kid. Recently I got into books, I finished ''The Metamorphosis'' by Kafka Franz and now I'm reading ''Notes from Underground'' by Fyodor Dostoevsky I got a ton of popular books to read so I'm excited. |

| Never read any of the Harry Potter or LOTR books. There are also plenty of books that I've read a little bit of, but not enough. Examples include 1984, Animal Farm, and Slaughterhouse Five. |
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| The hunger games series and fahrenheit 451 are the main ones |
| Too many to list. I have never been much of a reader (at least I was literate as a kid, unlike 90% of iPad kids). |

waferish said: OP, you are only 14. Don't feel embarrassed, you still have all the time in the world and, like you said, you only got into reading last year. It's not a race. just enjoy the ride no matter how long it takes. Even university literature students would have gone their whole degree without reading some of the books you listed! and honestly I'm just gonna stop here because it's honestly kinda embarassing the number of popular books I still haven't read ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ |

| I'm hoping to read or atleast start these books this year: · Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson · Rhythm of War and Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson · Books by Guy Gavriel Kay · City of Last Chances by Adrian Tchaikovsky · Sun Eater by Christopher Ruocchio · Some Discworld novels by Sir Terry Pratchett |
| I have on my list Sun Eater by Christopher Ruocchio and Red Rising by Pierce Brown. A colleague at work suggested to give me her copy of The Book of Azrael by Amber V. Nicole, cos she didn't like it. I said I am not into Romantasy, so not sure I will like it either. But maybe will give it a try. XD |
