Name a famous book you've never read: |

Jack Kerouac, On the Road.
Just never got around to it, I guess.

6. Or how about Richard Brautiguinea Pig? |
|
"Trout Fisting In America" is just one book I've always shied away from. Dunno why!

I mean, I *sorta* read it, then decided I didn't care, then decided to *really* give it a go, then forgot about it. So I guess I should say I don't really know if I did or not.
What was the question again? :freak:

9. I haven't read "Slaughterhouse - Five" |
|
I have heard so many great things about it. I think I'll put it on my required reading list.
If you've read it, did you like it?

I can understand why he's so beloved, but sometimes he strikes me as precious.

45. Hey, I'm currently not reading that too. |
|
I have a copy, I know where it is. I know everybody else has read it. So I'm reading other books twice to avoid it.

21. I suggest you read that one, though it wasn't easy for me. I tried to read it after working |

the graveyard shift. It took a couple of readings for it to sink in. Great book!

its historical significance makes it interesting.

40. It's worth it, but Pynchon can be emotionally remote. |
|
With the possible exception of "mason & Dixon," Pynchon's stuff is a touch on the cold side.
