I am so very tired...and our fridge has a major leak. And I still haven't heard back from the Realtor, even though I woke up early and called them before 10am. Fuckers
( Read more... )
I only have 19. And I'm not doing all that HTMLing, so fugheddaboudit. Although some of my favorite books are on the list: 1984, Lord of the Flies, Lolita, Swallows and Amazons (which is the beginning of a whole series, which I have read cover to cover, tyvm), The Wind in the Willows...
Can we talk about the sucktasticness of the list, though? Since when is The Chronicles of Narnia only one book? Since when are the complete works of Billy Shakespeare only one book? And MITCH ALBOM?? Are you kidding me? One of these things is not like the others...one of these things doesn't belong.
I think there might be a big book of the total collection of Shakespeare, but yeah, there are some inconsistencies with this meme. Like they put down the complete works of Billy, but then Hamlet gets a special listing all by itself. Very weird.
there is; i have it. Hamlet *is* included, naturally.
obviously any list can only be restrictive; i'd have only put one book by each author on it. There are of course many classic books that aren't included in it ... Treasure Island, Kidnapped, Robinson Crusoe, The Power And The Glory, It, All Quiet On The Western Front ...
... also if they have The Bible, why not The Mahabarat, or The Koran?
Whomever wrote the list isn't so much with the actually reading, methinks. A lot of these "books" are actually a series. Also, "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" are both on the list. TLTWATW is *part* of the Chronicles. A lot of this seems to be highschool lit class and then the Oprah book club for the last 5 years.
