I've read Hamlet several times, it's not a bad play though it's long. I would recommend reading it if you have the time. I took a course on Shakespeare in Uni, and then read Hamlet for another course.

Oh! A list! Me too!

Uncle Tom's Cabin - heard of it but haven't read.
Dracula - own it but haven't read.
Tom Sawyer - Wishbone did it.
Huckleberry Finn - Or he did this one. Not sure.
Lord of the Flies - Read in school. I don't like it.
The Old Man and the Sea - Did not read it in school. Know of it.
Wuthering Heights - Know of it. Supposed to be slightly Gothic.
Romeo & Juliet - Read for uni. Not my favourite.
Hamlet - Read several times. Seen one the Kenneth Brannagh movie.
The Great Gatsby - know of, never read.
Where the Red Fern Grows - Read this recently. Wonderful book, oh dear god the feels.
Little Women - Saw a cartoon when I was itty bitty and only remember a little bit of it. There's a character named Beth.
1984 - Know of, never read.
A Tale of Two Cities - Wishbone did this too.
The Scarlet Letter - Know of, not read.
The Count of Monte Christo - Wishbone, and saw a movie.
The Odyssey - Wishbone, abbreviated book, part of a miniseries.
Fahrenheit 451 - hear of, not read.
Julius Caesar - same
Great Expectations - same but movie.
The Grapes of Wrath - same
Brave New World - skimmed in uni. Wasn't impressed.
Othello - didn't actually read this one.
The Taming of the Shrew - or this one.
Moby Dick - just a couple movies.
King Lear - nope, not read.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - haven't read this either.
Oliver Twist - Wishbone and Disney
A Doll's House - Hey! I haven't heard of this one!
Gulliver's Travels - Cartoon when I was about 6.
Catch 22 - Heard of, memorized the cover, haven't read.
The Tempest - Read in high school. Not bad.


I heard of all but one! Some only because of a TV Jack Russel.

Seriously though, my degree is in English Lit so I'm happy to natter about literary things. What are you supposed to get from your textual analysis?

The Importance of Being Ernest is pretty short, and pretty funny. Seems like it would lend itself well to text analysis.
