I’ve never read Frankenstein but I have read Dracula and Jekyll and Hyde.
I don’t know anyone else but me who has read Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Parts I-III.
I’m the only person I know who’s read Jerome’s Three Men In A Boat.
Don Quixote was going to be my answer.
I’m working through Il Purgatorio right now. I’ve also read Frankenstein, and will have to go pick Don Quixote, methinks.
There are a lot of classics I’ve read that I’m the only person that I know who has read it. But others I know may have read them – I just don’t ask. I’ve read several listed here (including Frankenstein – and I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve read that one.)
My suggestion – the works of Lucian, esopecially the Penguin translation. If you haven’t read it, it’s worth it. A Roman humorist and satirist who could have written yesterday (if you make a few changes in names). And his piece on Alexander the Wonder Worker is a bit of parapsychological debumking that could’ve been done by CSICOP.
Read all three parts in high school as an elective in Senior English.
*The Egoist * by George Meredith.
I’ve read a lot of these. My vote is for What Katy Did, a children’s 19th century classic. I’ve read all three books in the series.
Not only have I read Ulysses, but I have it memorized, so if anyone says they haven’t read it, I can helpfully recite it for them! Strangely, this doesn’t go over well at cocktail parties.
I’ve read the Divine Comedy, Hans Brinker, The Violent Bear it Away (and a bunch of other O’Connor. She has the best titles). Only parts of the Iliad and the Odyssey, though.
Oh! And Eight Cousins, a little-known Louisa M. Alcott book. And Little Lord Fauntleroy.
Herodotus.
Dicken’s “A Christmas Carol.” Everybody has seen it a million times, but who else has actually read the book?
raises hand Me. Sigh.
I gotta read this. I heard or read somewhere that Red Harvest was one of David Milch’s inspirations for the HBO series Deadwood.
I’ve read Frankenstein and A Christmas Carol. It’s the only Dickens I’ve read – maybe because it’s so short. 
Novels and short stories by Jean Rhys, such as Wide Sargasso Sea and Quartet.
Novels and short stories by Muriel Spark, such as The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
Yes, but I bet now you NEVER forget to bring the can opener when camping/tailgating 
I think I’m name my next JRT Montmorency…
The Duke’s Children by Anthony Trollope. It’s about the tenth Trollope book that anyone gets to, so you need to be pretty interested (or taking a very long college seminar) to get that far.
I’ve also read The Iliad and The Odyssey (the Fitzgerald translation, I think).
And * Red Harvest*.
And Three Men in a Boat. But, JerH, have you read Three Men on the Bummel, the sequel? And what about Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow? Boat isn’t all that obscure…
For Dickens, how about both Hard Times and Our Mutual Friend? (Though I’m sure every Dickens piece, from Sketches by Boz to Edwin Drood, has been read by far too many people to qualify.)
I can’t really count North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell (since I read it in college, with a dozen or so other students in the same class), but I’d be surprised if anyone these days ever reads it without being forced to.
I have, for one. I was under the impression that several Dopers have. It’s one of his more accessible works. I read and re-read it more times than I can recall. Then I found The Annotated Christmas Carol and read it even more times. Great book, and my favorite Dickens. And none of the movie or stage versions really does it completely and correctly.
I will go with *Work * by Louisa May Alcott. It really isn’t a classic in itself, but it is by an author of other classics. That’s as close as I can come. It’s a bit darker than Little Women and explores the role of work in women’s lives at the time. I am glad I read it, got some interesting perspective on both the author and the times from reading it.
Read Hard Times for high school sophomore English.
Me. I read it because they were the first three plays in the ‘Complete Shakespeare’ that I bought for $5. Amazingly, I kept reading after that.
Also Don Quixote. And I was forced to read Frankenstein twice - ugh.
Since I study Classics, I know a lot of people who have read the Iliad and the Odyssey.
But I couldn’t get past the first chapter of Dracula. How could Stoker manage to make vampires boring?
Nope – two out of three of the specific titles you mention. (Haven’t read Quartet.)
Here’s one – Remembrance of Things Past. All of it. The fact that not a syllable of it stayed with me isn’t entirely relevant, right?
