    These are the most common translations of those titles in Catalan. Most of the books have been translated more than once, so there may be other translations I don't know about.

    The Lord of the Rings - El Senyor dels Anells
    The Picture of Dorian Gray - El retrat de Dorian Gray
    The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha - L'enginyós cavaller Don Quixot de La Manxa --Depending on the translation, the Spanish words hidalgo and La Mancha were left in Spanish, as words like cavaller 'knight, gentleman' don't really translate the whole concept of the very Spanish hidalgo.
    Gulliver's Travels - Els viatges de Gulliver
    Dangerous Liaisons - Les relacions perilloses
    The Count of Monte Christo - El comte de Montecristo
    Odyssey - Odissea or L'Odissea, depending on the translation.
    Iliad - Ilíada
    In Search of Lost Time - A la recerca del temps perdut
    Journey to the End of the Night - Viatge al fons de la nit
    The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie - El punt dolç de la senyoreta Brodie --I found this translation funny, but it's the published one. Maybe there's an intended pun I can't see because I haven't read this novel.
    The Seasons --I don't know what work this title exactly refers too. The literal translation would be Les estacions.

    The Seasons - Sas istajones

    The Great Gatsby - Su Gràndhe Gatsby


    same here in Logudorese from my zone, with just little differences

    Gulliver's Travels - Viazzos de Gulliver - Viaggios de Gulliver (never heard "viazzos" in typical Logudorese, I think it's more Nuorese)
    Dangerous Liaisons - Perigulosas relassiones - Relatziones perigulosas
    The Count of Monte Christo - Su Conte de Monte Christus - Su Conte de Monte Christos
    In Search of Lost Time - Buscande su tempu perdidu - In chirca de su Tempus Pèrdidu (buscande seems a lot Nuorese)
    The Great Gatsby - Su Gràndhe Gatsby - Gatsby su Mannu (we also use Grande, very rarely, only in metaphorical meaning)
