How Many Have You Read?
---
How embarrassing: I've only read nine of Time Magazine's Top 100 English Language Novels (since 1923). My strong preference for non-fiction clearly has an opportunity cost.
Even more embarrassing: neither The Fountainhead nor Atlas Shrugged made the list.
Well, after all, it was Time Magazine.
For Discussion: What novels would you add to the list?
Here are the nine I've read:
Animal Farm
The Catcher in the Rye
The Great Gatsby
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
Lord of the Flies
The Lord of the Rings
1984
Slaughterhouse-Five
To Kill a Mockingbird
(No comment on how many of those were required reading in school.)
