I haven't read much, just list away and if I've read it, I'll say so.
Reading is something that I've gotten into recently, I never really read otherwise except for in school.

Moby dick
twenty thousand leagues under the sea
King Solomon's Mines
Tom Sawyer, Detective
Dracula
The Invisible Man
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
The Picture of Dorian Gray
because he is trying to inspire rage in the OP. Mind you, a better way of doing so would be to add the comic to the list of books to read before watching the film.
