A good list, though some of the choices are surprising. Tom Send a noteboard - 19/01/2013 02:36:20 PM
For example, I'm surprised why Madame Bovary isn't higher on the list, and why Ayn Rand made it at all given the fact that virtually no one who reads her books really LIKES them; they just like the philosophy or they don't. A few of them I've never even heard of, too.

Also, I was surprised to see that no one at this board was talking about having any reading challenges for 2013.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

If this board had more activity, I'd propose doing a list similar to this one - 19/01/2013 11:34:41 AM 686 Views

That was my general take when I blogged about it a few days ago - 19/01/2013 02:42:33 PM 585 Views
The utter lack of Eliot is a scandal. - 19/01/2013 11:12:52 PM 446 Views
You could do a list - 19/01/2013 02:38:12 PM 424 Views
I suppose I could - 19/01/2013 02:46:20 PM 447 Views

Some of those wouldn't be "obvious" for me - 19/01/2013 04:58:15 PM 554 Views
I dare say any non-English novel that would appear on such a list, would be available in translation - 19/01/2013 10:39:04 PM 436 Views
That seems probable - 20/01/2013 04:11:22 AM 419 Views
That seems a decent list. - 20/01/2013 05:26:11 PM 436 Views
