You've never read any of those books, as a kid? Cripes...you must have gone to lousy schools and been ignored by parents/grandparents/aunts & uncles!
I went to some good schools and some bad. I have a bunch of degrees. I just dont know all those things in that list. And I can live with it. I can find that stuff out any time.
No offense meant, but I’m conservative, I read non-fiction, not fiction.
of your reading list I have read The Red Badge of Courage (had to unfortunately)
