Sounds like a real twit.

Actually he’s right not to read three of these books:

6: The Dice Man – Luke Reinhart

5: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas – Hunter S Thompson

4: The Beauty Myth – Naomi Wolff

But he’s wrong about the rest of them. Very wrong. Except maybe À la Recherche du Temps Perdu. I think you can get away with reading the first volume, and stop there.

He is a TWIT. Don’t read Tolstoy or Austen? To hell with that nonsense.

I agree with you completely. However, I had difficulty getting through War and Peace and Ulysses.

Very few books I have read in my life made me actually, for real, laugh out loud. ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ was one such book.
