I've read all of them at least once--but I didn't originally read all of them in my teens. The only one I think I'd have trouble revisiting is the Pynchon.
Was cringing at the thought that either Catcher in the Rye or The Fountainhead/Atlas Shrugged would be on the list. There's not enough money in the world to make me reread those books.
Sounds like Deb has a problem with Ayn Rand. (Atlas Shrugged is a true classic and I enjoyed it even more the second time around)
We were forced to read Orwell's 1984 and A Separate Peace by John Knowles. The first one I should read again. But you could pay me enough to read the second one.
The only classic that I actually read all the way through in high school classes (without cheating with Cliff Notes) was Crime and Punishment. Dosty really grabbed me.

Well, Smokler makes a valiant effort, so maybe Dickinson, but otherwise? Nah, but I am re-reading Camus' The Rebel.
