All of them. I've got to say though I only put Lord of the Rings, 1984 and the Bible in my 'to be read again' pile. The literature works were a good commentary on social conditions, but not something I enjoy reading time and time again. Pullman's stuff was just... ugh.

I've read 9 out of these 10 - the only one I'm missing is "To Kill a Mockingbird". Just wondered how many of these other forum members have read?
