qosWhich "classics" have you read that actually made a strong impression on you, and/or had a significant influence on you? Which do you keep in your library because you truly want to have them at your fingertips to read -- or at least dip into -- again and again?
ETA: Lists are great, folks -- but what I'm really interested in is why and/or how these books touched you in such an important way.

I read The Good Earth in junior high or high school. I seem to remember that the last line was to the effect of "O-Lan, you are the earth!" I did not, however, realize that it was part of a trilogy.
Also have read Animal Farm, but that too was a very long time ago.
I should put both Ulysses and Gravity's Rainbow on my To-Read list. I've never read Joyce, and I should.
