Inspired by @Elckerlyc's confession found here, I started wondering which other novels or authors everyone else hasn't read. And by classics I mean those books/authors that everyone knows about.
I'll go first.
Of the classic authors I haven't read any Dickens, Hemingway, Austen, Brontes, Steinbeck, Tolstoy, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Christie, Woolf and many, many others
Books I'll admit to not reading Moby Dick, any Sherlock Holmes, To Kill a Mockingbird to name but three.
On genre, no Mieville or Gibson adorn my bookshelves (plus quite a few of the more modern era)
As for genre novels, I've not got around to reading Flowers for Algernon, A Canticle for Liebowitz, The Left Hand of Darkness, Ender's Game
I've only read the first Narnia book.
So come on. Confession time.
Here's a list of authors to help with the shame.
