Read (35)

Crime and Punishment - I read this in school and really liked it.
Catch-22 - Loved it.
The Iliad - I <3 Homer.
The Odyssey - I <3 Homer.
The Tale of Two Cities - Had to read it in school. Thought it was
pretty good. Which led me to...
Oliver Twist - Loved it. Which led me to...
Great Expectations - OMG, talk about stabbing a guy in the back. SO
BORED BUT Y?
Emma - The first and last Jane Austen book I will ever read.
Honestly, I think the movie Clueless is the most brilliant adaptation
of this story, ever.
Quicksilver - I read all three of these, do I get a bonus point? I
can honestly say I loved this series.
The Confusion
Cryptonomicon - Loved it.
Neverwhere - Loved it.
Wicked - Loved it.
The Canterbury Tales - I took a class on Chaucer. I really liked it.
Brave New World - Loved it.
The Count of Monte Cristo - A bit dated, but I loved it. I liked The
Stars My Destination better, though.
Dracula - Eh, thought it was okay. As awesome as vampires are, I
wasn't captivated by the book. Maybe it was better in its time period.
A Clockwork Orange - I have mixed feelings about this one. I respect
it as a work, but it didn't really do it for me.
Frankenstein - Wonderful, short, fantastic read.
The Once and Future King - I've read this four or five times.
The Grapes of Wrath - There is no God. If there was, He in his
infinite wisdom would have burned every copy of this dull, depressing
book from the face of the earth.
1984 - Read it for school, and loved it.
The Inferno - I read this once for college, and wasn't really sure I
got it, so I read parts again, and decided that without digging into
the historical context, the book itself wasn't too useful. The
writing was pretty, though.
Gulliver's Travels - I mildly enjoyed it.
Les Misérables - It was good. Like, really good. Like, it was a
totally gripping page after page after page turner for me. But, the
huge digression about the war with Wellington was really quite odd.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time - I am still amazed
at how adroitly he can write from an autistic character's point of
view.
Dune - Loved the first one and read it a dozen times. Read the second one once. Never made it
more than a few chapters into 3.
The Prince - Meh.
The Picture of Dorian Gray - Really enjoyed it.
Slaughterhouse-five - I <3 Vonnegut.
The Scarlet Letter - Meh. Rednecks burn sexually enlightened person
at stake. I read about it in the news every day.
Lolita - I enjoyed it, but it actually wasn't as racy as I had hoped.
The Catcher in the Rye - Great.
The Hobbit - Loved it.
The Three Musketeers - Good, but not as compelling as I had hoped.

On bookshelf (4)

Moby Dick - I read a few chapters and got bored.
Ulysses - I have tried to read it twice, but haven't been able to do it.
The Fountainhead - I'm not an Ayn Rand fan, so I haven't made it more
than half way through this one. Pretty much anyone who
makes it to prophet status loses out big in my book.
Foucault's Pendulum - George read it and liked it, but I haven't
gotten around to it.
