Pastor S. at Burr in the Burgh posted a link to Time Magazine's list of the 100 greatest English language novels from 1923 to the present.
Let's see how many I've read:
All the Kings Men by Robert Penn Warren
Animal Farm by George Orwell
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
Beloved by Toni Morrison
The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler
The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood
Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather
Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
The Lord of the Flies by William Golding
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R.Tolkien
Native Son by Richard Wright
1984 by George Orwell
Possession by A.S. Byatt
Rabbit Run by John Updike
The Sound and the Fury by WIlliam Faulkner
I've read 21 of them, which isn't great. The thing that amazed me the most is that I had read 14 of them by the time I graduated from high school, all but one of those for English class.
I figure that Bethany would have read lots more than me, but she's only read a fewof them.Most of her reading seems to be older books.
