I don't think I've comeplted one of the classics (hardy, dickens etc) and to be honest they bore me to tears.<BR/><BR/>I should really find out why and how this list was composed. I say should, I really mean could.Sarangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03545162612237984546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23471698.post-39412733413278918792009-02-19T13:43:00.000+00:002009-02-19T13:43:00.000+00:00I wouldn't worry, Baal: I'm a reasonably intellig...I wouldn't worry, Baal: I'm a reasonably intelligent straight white guy, and I barely hit 21. Most of the books there I could care less about, honestly. (Confederacy, 5 people, a bunch more.) It's not a hard-and-fast must read, it's an opinion.googumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17843267619711712271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23471698.post-54349229678753540132009-02-19T03:03:00.000+00:002009-02-19T03:03:00.000+00:00I've probably read more than one hundred books in ...I've probably read more than one hundred books in the last year and a half and I have to say, I've read precious few of these so called must reads. I find most of the so called classics musty and boring. There also seems to be hardly anything illuminating the non-white viewpoint and zero of the non-straight lifestyle. Apparently I don't give a crap what the person at the BBC thinks because he or she clearly could care less about anything resembling diversity.Baalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347293902995572511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23471698.post-76244342292825883362009-02-18T19:07:00.000+00:002009-02-18T19:07:00.000+00:00Nothing wrong with being a fuddy duddy. :-) This i...Nothing wrong with being a fuddy duddy. :-) This is an interesting list. I'm gonna run with it, Saranga, and see how my reading history stacks up.Sea-of-Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00813600516703661200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23471698.post-65144469574992232692009-02-18T15:48:00.000+00:002009-02-18T15:48:00.000+00:00Well, I've read all the Jane Austin, the Bronte si...Well, I've read all the Jane Austin, the Bronte sisters and Dickens and actually liked them. I've read Little Women a dozen times, not to mention the two sequels. But never much of the modern stuff, because I'm just an old fuddy duddy.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.com
