I've read it too (not in latin though).
Actually The Aeneid and The Odyssey are mandatory readings at highschool here so almost everyone I know has read it.
My point is I read to either have fun or learn something (I posted my favorite "fun" books) not "to be considered educated and literate" as you suggested.
Funny how after reading the Aeneid in latin you still missed the whole point of simple two lines post
Your list made me remember I also liked The Gambler by Dostoevsky
