While we are at it, what would you, dear friends, recommend me to read?  A short (ten to hundred titles) list of
books  by missing which I'll miss the essence of the English-speaking culture.  I'm probably familiar with classic,  (Shakespeare,
Dickens? ) but mostly in translations.  Which classical books I must reread in original to get?  Are there any new titles worth reading?  I think the most recent fiction I read was Harry Potter.  Random novels from bestseller lists didn't quite capture my attention.

Пратчета я не пробовала. Наверно, не я говорила.

Pratchett is recommended. Things like "Witches Abroad" or "Mort", or (my favorite) Bromeliad Cycle.
(The titles also contain worthy puns.)

Thanks. Pratchett is jolted down on that finely written all over piece of the grocery receipt I'm going to take to the library tomorrow.
