Photo reblogged from the ragbag

ragbag:

crack books
at some point during a recent road trip from boston to pittsburgh, a friend and i started to discuss a catcher in the rye—fifteen minutes into the conversation we both realised that neither of us had read the book.
we then began to come clean on books that had “fallen through the cracks” for us—books that everyone else seems to have read that are talked about so often that we can believably discuss them without looking like unlettered booooobs (extra o’s added for emphasis).
what are yours? (i will be judging you)
related.
UPDATE: this list.

My list:

Most Shakespeare  
Most Dickens (I’ve never finished a Dickens novel… I just don’t like his style)  
Of Mice and Men  
One Hundred Years of Solitude
