I have read 1984, but only because it was the novel I had to study for the my HSC (in, you guessed it, 1984). I read a lot of classics because I did English and Australian Literature as a side stream to my librarianship degreee. That's when I fell in love with Austen and Trollope. Haven't read War and Peace yet. I'm waiting for retirement for that one.
I wonder how many people have read some of the great books of Australian Literature, eg For the Term of his natural life, Robbery under arms, Such is Life(a personal favourite, Wildcat falling or Wake in Fright?
