I'm the process of tearing apart Crime and Punishment. As far as personal preference, I loved Flowers for Algernon. 

negative creep:
I'd like to second Moby Dick. I also enjoyed Crime and Punishment a lot (actualy everything by Dostoevsky that I've read), and while we're talking about Russian literature: War and Peace, if you can spare the time.

I also would like to add Goethe's Sorrows of young Werther to the list.

Also Hemmingway, Dickens, Wilde, yadda yadda...

Ozymandias:
To Kill a Mockingbird is essential, Catch-22 and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest I both deeply love.

LeeC:
does The Hobbit count? if so by far better than anything else Tolkien ever wrote.

on the subject of Shakespeare, Macbeth, Mid-Summer night's dream, and Romeo and Juliet are all good, Othello was good too, but I couldnt get into Hamlet.

Moby Dick is something I always wanted to read but never had. Same with Three Musketeers and all of the Iliad and the Odyssey only read snippets and or retellings of them but never the actual stories themselves.

To kill a mocking bird was genius

negative creep:
Oh yeah, Three Musketeers is pretty good, too. Worth reading in any case.

I think The Hobbit counts. It's a good book either way.
