I have enough trouble remembering what happened in books I actually have read. I can't imagine trying to fake more. :P

I've only read 1984 and Dune from that list. I've been close to purchasing Cryptonomicon, Jonathan Strange and Gravity's Rainbow, but haven't ever gotten there. After my attempt at Vineyard, I'm not sure I want to read Pynchon.

I read 1984 twice, and tried to get into Dune on 3 occasions before vomiting. Tom - 12/07/2012 03:10:01 PM 1112 Views
