Great list and not sure this one fits but 1984? Seems to pop often and could be considered on of the earliest dystopian books other one are inspired by. But seriously, I am not sure so go ahead and laugh.

I'd suggest Lord of the Flies by William Golding and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Pirsig. Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie. The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff. Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. Man, most of these books make me want to puke now (except for good old Salman). ;)

I tried to read Thus Spoke Zarathustra once. It didn't go well. Good luck with getting through some of these!

I never thought about "cult" books before, but it's so true! There are some great ones on your list.

Oh Lord … I'm terrible at thinking of things on the fly like this. Sounds like you are really doing challenges but calling them projects! HAHA.

I might have thrown up a little bit when I read Portrait of the Artist. Ick. I immediately thought of Handmaid's Tale but not positive that'll work. Would also add Snow Crash by Stephenson, though it's a bit lesser known/read.

Flowers in the Attic? That is the first book that comes to my mind. Twilight will be on a cult list someday.

I was just saying over at Marie's the other day (who was talking about the same thing) that when I hear "cult" I think of movies. Weird that I don't think of books at cult. But now that you all are bringing it up, yeah, I guess they are. I can count on one hand how many of these I've read, so obviously I need to get cracking.

Great list! I have read (actually read, completed and all) nine of these books. I started and set aside three others, and I own a whole bunch more. Good luck with your project!!!

I would add The Third Policeman, but that is a personal choice that I try to push on everyone! I have read a few of these, and some of them are wonderful books. One of my favorites is A Confederacy of Dunces. Just a wonderful book!

I am so glad you put Lolita on the list. That was my first thought and I realized some people might find it uncomfortable to put Lolita on a cult list, haha! :D

Great list although some of what you list is a surprise: 25 and 26? But I love the idea and the picture is just great!
