if there is a list called "The Books That Changed the Way You Think" I'll put this so very fanny/deeply sad "Catch 22" in it (I've read it as teenager)!
Had no problems with "LOTR", "Millennium", left "Ulysses" after 5 pages, never started "Moby Dick" (know vague what it is about, no interest), "Fifty Shades of Grey" (ditto), Atlas Shrugged (never heard about, probably because I'm not native English speaker), "Wicked" (?), "Eat Pray Love" (?), "The Casual Vacancy".
I've read of course "Something Happend" but dont' remember anything - except that Yossarian was so very very old.. but still going(?).
To induce my son to read Rowling's HP I've read to him the first page of one of the books. I remember that it was an exceptionally good first page, but ... he's read them all, me ... not. The films were not so good...
