…otherwise known as 9997 Novels I Haven’t Read.
I saw this post on Mad Bibliophile a little while ago and became curious. I usually don’t pay attention to those ‘must read’ lists because I haven’t read many classics and, frankly, I don’t intend to. Great Expectations may be a great literary work, but I’m not seeking it out.
Big whoop, right? Who cares what I choose to read?
Well, I saw that post and thought that, out of 1000 book, I had to have read some.
Wrong. Make that a few.
Out of that big ol’ list, I have read a total of three books:
Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone
Wuthering Heights
Flowers for Algernon
Yeah, I know. It’s not the most thrilling list, is it. However, I would like to point out that there are a couple I didn’t add in because they put ‘the x series‘ whereas I had only read one. And, though tempting, I didn’t include all of the ones where I had seen the movie and not read the book.
To be honest, I still don’t care about those ‘must read’ lists; this one just gave me a bigger laugh than they usually do because of all the books I haven’t read.
If you have or do go through this list and post about it, let me know! Or let me know how you feel about these sort of lists in general.
