TIME Magazine has released their list of the All-Time 100 Novels. I’ve read 21 of them. Not to shabby if I do say so myself.
Animal Farm, George Orwell
Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, Judy Blume
The Big Sleep, Raymond Chandler
The Blind Assassin, Margaret Atwood
Catch-22, Joseph Heller
A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess
The Confessions of Nat Turner, William Styron
I, Claudius, Robert Graves
Invisible Man. Ralph Ellison
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis
Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov
Lord of the Flies, William Golding
The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien
Neuromancer, William Gibson
1984, George Orwell
On the Road, Jack Kerouac
Possession, A.S. Byatt
Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut
Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson
The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, John le Carre
Watchmen, Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons
A few more statistics: I’ve read all three SF novels, the one graphic novel on the list (which is also SF), and have met three of the authors on the list (Gibson, Stephenson, and Vonnegut.)

I’ve read 7, which is amazing since I don’t really read fiction. I’ve seen a few more of the movies.
