Ummm...I've only even heard of 4 of those books lol Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 12/07/2012 03:34:40 PM
Nice list here. Do you agree that one should fake it? ;)


And out of those 4, I've only attempted to read Jonathan Strange. I say attempted, because I found the book to be highly dry and deeply boring. So I stopped. But no, I don't think people even need to fake having read those books.
