Hmmm, it's been ages, but I remember a few of the books I read (or supposed to have read...)

1984 by George Orwell, I think is a must-read, especially in this digital age.
The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham, I liked. Can't remember it too much though...

Animal Farm I never finished... Don't know, never really caught my attention
Lord of the Flies, same as Animal Farm, don't think I ever finished it. At least, I can't remember the end of it.
Catcher in the Rye (I believe it was spelled), same story

I never really liked poetry, not in my own language and not in English. I'd love to have a copy of an easily readable version of The Iliad and the Odyssey.

I know I must have read more, as our list had to include 10 books (and 20 in Dutch...)
