99% of people in this forum won't be able to enjoy them. Let me give you a brief review of some of the books, from the perspective of an ESL.

The Great Gatsby - Great book. Wonderful language, perfect for advanced English leaner. But it could be very boring for most Chinese readers.

The Call of the Wild – English masterpiece, but don’t touch it unless you have a large vocabulary and fairly comfortable with English.

The Picture of Dorian Gray - Most people won’t understand it, even half way through the book.

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt – Plain English, but could be very boring for people who are not interested in history. You can put it on your must read list because Theodore Roosevelt was a remarkable person and you could learn a lot from his memoir.

The Brothers Karamazov – Classic novel. It could put a lot of people to sleep, for very advanced English learner.

The Wealth of Nations – Economics and politics 101.

  • 枫下拾英 / 乐韵书香 / 推荐几本好的英文书。
    • 感觉应该在上学时候看这些书,现在要静下来看这些书还真难。
      • 时间就像乳沟,挤挤还是有的。:)
        • 挤出来,不自然,令人难以真正享受:)更关键的是,很多书,还真只能在求知欲最强的阶段阅读,很多观念还没有建立,没有形成习见。让我现在去读理想国,还真是读不下去。
    • 你這樣不遺餘力的推這個網站有啥意思? 英文有Goodreads, 中文有豆瓣,你這網站有啥前途呢?
    • Many years ago, I've read several chapters of 'The Call of the Wild' in English. It was fascinating.
    • 兄弟们都很强啊,俺看这些书翻两页就睡着了。俺最近在看《美军狙击手》(American Sniper),伊拉克战场上的王牌狙击手根据自己实战经验写的自传,简单,写实,惊险
