Summer is here and I can read whatever I want until August. Over the last few years I've been working on knocking out some of the "classics" in order to finally understand the countless references by the "well read" folks in the world.

Keep in mind that I didn't start reading books for pleasure until I was about 25. I have some catching up to do.

Ideas?

Everybody here talks about Animal Farm.
I'm kind of tired of Hemmingway.
I never enjoyed Kurt V. (but then I haven't really given him a chance).

What are the works that you would consider basic "must read?"
