Books Everyone Wishes They've Read

Look: nobody's perfect. We'd all love to read more, to be able to say "Yes I have read that famous book, la-dee-dah." These are the kinds of books we'd all be so proud to have read, to place prominently on our bookshelves, and not-so-subtly work into conversation as often as we can.
