The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner Hard to read but great book
Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs I didn't read it
Dracula by Bram Stoker I like it, I don't know why it is in this list, may be that the Italian translation makes it easier to read?
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald I didn't read it
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand I didn't read it
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen I didn't read it but I could read it to better read the zombies version
Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky I didn't read it but after reading Demons I won't read it because I hated Demons
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov Masterpiece
Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon I didn't read it

I have read all books in Italian. And of course if You don't like a book You don't like it also if somebody else says that it is a masterpiece.
