I've never read Virginia Woolf and I read Gone With the Wind when I was nine. But I have read classics lie Persuasion by Jane Austen, The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad, Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Who Has Seen The Wind? by W.O. Mitchell, The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Also, George Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm. Anything Shakespeare I'd probably recognize. But no Woolf or Charlotte or Emilie Bronte. So is it cultural? I don't don't know. I've read Ukrainian literature (in Ukrainian) and other foreign literature (translated to English. I've never been good with foreign languages though I did take a little German in university).
