Which book do you question? I've read over 30 and liked them all.

I've read, or tried to read about 70 of these books. I've never heard of a few of them and didn't read a few others.

Which books do I question? "BELOVED" ( it was terrible! ) and "ON THE ROAD" ; but many others, too, because they aren't the best representation of the authors' work. "THE GREAT GATSBY" and 'SOME CALL IT SLEEP" are stinkeroonies; much over praised. The list looks like an affirmative action course, combined with one made by literary snobs, who know the titles, but haven't really read the books.

Have you ever read "GOODBY COLUMBUS" ? If so, remember the girl at the pool, who carries around "WAR AND PEACE", all summer, but never reads it? LOL
