Rachel, Acceptable Gaps

When compiling my list, I also thought about a few famous/epic/classic books I've never read, which I purposefully don't plan to read. Some people love these books, and they're common on "Must Read Before You Die" lists--but I feel like I can die without reading these and it'll be OK, for I will have filled my reading days with other wonderful things.

Here are my acceptable gaps (list edited to include those I was reminded of by your comments below, thanks):

Hardy (Thomas): any
Joyce: Ulysses
Melville: Moby Dick
Mitchell: Gone With the Wind
Rand (Ayn): any
Tolstoy: War and Peace
Wallace: Infinite Jest

What are yours?
