For me:Â 1, 4 (bits and pieces), 6 and 9.

1,4,6,7,9,10
1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Mostly because I was forced to read those in college. “The Life of Samuel Johnson” was on my own, and I’m glad I read it, very good, to say the least.
1, 6, and 9. Got work to do. 😂
Always nice to start off a work week being humbled.
Only #9, by compulsion.
Humbling.
In my defense, I *could* have read them, but I was wasting my time – reading Lewis 😉
Only #6, The Everlasting Man.
Surprised C.S. read that one. I had heard that… “he never met an intelligent Catholic and that affected his not coming into the Church.”
6 & 9 -many years ago. Have the Everlasting Man on my bookshelf.
#9, the Aenid by Virgil, in Latin. My high school English teacher used my slavishly literal translation for the literature class that she taught.
# 9 read in Latin high school and college Latin classes. Read in English in English Lit class.
I read #3 in the original Klingon
CAG, thanks for the laugh. I needed that after reading the proposed bills of Gov Spanberger’s Assembly.
1,4,5,9. To what extent they have influenced me I cannot say, but it’s certain that, if I had been asked to produce a list of my own, none of these titles would have occurred to me.
