Some of Faulkner ought to be on that list-- The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying. I think most people just read the critics and fake it.

Once upon a time Thomas Wolfe* would be on a list like this. Lately, though, people have even stopped pretending to have read him.

Lately, Toni Morrison would make a list of authors people lie about reading. Also, something massive and sufficiently multicultural like The Tale of Genji.

I liked “The Bonfire of the Vanities” but have not read anything else by Tom Wolfe.

I have read Thomas Wolfe (not Tom Wolfe of Bonfire of the Vanities fame) but I can’t remember the titles of his books. arrrggg.. getting old.
