To begin this quest, I perused the list and scratched off the ones which I've already read. Surprisingly, I only found twelve:
1. Aesop’s Fables – Aesopus
2. Don Quixote – Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
3. The Three Musketeers – Alexandre Dumas
4. A Tale of Two Cities – Charles Dickens
5. Crime and Punishment – Fyodor Dostoevsky
6. The Jungle – Upton Sinclair
7. A Farewell to Arms – Ernest Hemingway
8. Absalom, Absalom! – William Faulkner
9. Lord of the Flies – William Golding
10.To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee
11.Catch-22 – Joseph Heller
12. Confederacy of Dunces – John Kennedy Toole
13. The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas
14 A Thousand and One Nights - Anonymous
15. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
16. The Hound of the Baskervilles – Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
17. Reasons to Live – Amy Hempel
Okay well that just leaves 984 more to go. Perhaps I'll inspire my nieces and nephews to finish my quest. One final act of remembrance for their spinster uncle.
