What great lists! I'm reminded of when I first got my Rocketbook, and filled it with public-domain works I ordinarily might not have read. The result was a profoundly rewarding reading experience.
paulkbiba's list mentions Dickens... I'm almost through "Our Mutual Friend", which I picked up solely because it was mentioned on "Lost".
And from tofuman's list - I stalled out at halfway through Stephenson's "Quicksilver"; I'd love to have that trilogy - and the Pynchon, AND the Dick, AND the Gaiman... well all of the above. Now I'm getting excited.
