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.

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。 -banruo(ILOVEWIKI); 2012-2-21 (#7300962@0)

时间就像乳沟，挤挤还是有的。:) -lifesucks(东坡道人已沉泉); 2012-2-21 (#7300970@0)

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。 -banruo(ILOVEWIKI); 2012-2-22 (#7303646@0)

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？ -newcomer28(newcomer28); 2012-2-21 (#7301588@0)
Many years ago, I've read several chapters of 'The Call of the Wild' in English. It was fascinating. -wutongyu97(faith); 2012-2-22 (#7303861@0)
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 -binghongcha76(一只大猫); 2012-2-22 (#7303994@0)
