You read the Bible from cover to cover? Systematically or piecemeal? I didn't find it much of a page-turner.
I'm not even going to embarrass myself by attempting this meme. I read so little literary fiction (ancient or modern) that my list would look very sad.
You've certainly read more than me, though I can fill in a few of your gaps with Lord of the Flies, Germinal, David Copperfield, Moby Dick,Far from the Madding Crowd, A Tale of Two Cities, A Town like Alice and 1984, but I'm hopeless on the modern stuff. I just don't have the time (or inclination). I'm especially lacking in the transatlantic department. No Gatsby, Mockingbird or any amount of Steinbeck. I've read the science fictiony ones such as Dune, but not (shudder) The Wasp Factory and I loved The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time... But I confess I haven't even heard of some of the titles.
