    • I dont understand this list

      why does it make me feel like an ignoramus?
      Why isnt stuff like
      the odessy
      the illiad
      beowulf
      paradise lost
      canterbury tales
      etc on there?
      It seems quite bbc adaptation (or film) orientated list

      • i was going to say maybe they're just listing novels

        but then shakespeare wouldn't be in there. or the bible. maybe it's just best-selling or most-read books?

    • 47

      Which I'm quite happy with, you're right, I wouldn't want to read a bunch of the rest, what's the list from? Tell me it's not supposed to be the 100 greatest of all time or I think I'll kill myself.

      PS I've read Ulysses twice and it's great. Really appreciated it the second time around after reading secondary texts and studies on it. Wouldn't mean as much to me as a lot of other books but you can recognise there's a genius at work.

    • I've read Ulysses twice and I love it

      • 38 of em

        favourites are Owen Meany and Life of Pi.

        The worst on that list is Bridsong, what a godawful book.

          because I don't think I got it at all, and it annoyed me. Is it all basically about how religion is good because life is bleak and horrible without it?

        • Incidentally if I were to pick my favourite ten from the list in no particular order:

          Actually 11:

          Great Expectations
          Catch 22 (hard to get into but brilliant by the end)
          The Time Traveller's Wife
          The Great Gatsby (another that you wonder why you're reading but then the ending makes the entire book worthwhile)
          The Kite Runner
          The Woman in White
          A Tale of Two Cities
          The Five People You Meet in Heaven (excellent book)
          Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
          The Three Musketeers (more for the sequels though)
          Les Miserables

          theguywithnousername @theguywithnousername | 17 Feb '09, 16:16 | X
          • Further to this:

            Birdsong's my least favourite on the list, I actually can't remember much about Brave New World (I assume I finished it but can't be sure) and the Lovely Bones is decent but overrated.

              • ...

                We had to read it for school, using the method I'm pretty sure the government made up purely to make children hate books: You sit in silence in the classroom, and the teacher designates one of your peers to read a passage of the book in their FUCKING RETARDED DIV VOICE as you read along. Then after a while, the teacher stops them and commands another one of your classmates to read - in their STUPID MONGOLOID STUTTER as you read along. Then eventually, you are the one who is assigned to read, but you can't because you've been reading at the speed of someone who is READING as opposed to TALKING and are therefore 12 pages ahead of anyone who has been doing what they're told; so now you look like a fucking idiot asking the teacher what page you're on.

                I still look back in anger at all the books this has ruined.

                    Well you see, I understood that the method had a purpose in that it ensured that we were at least reading some of the material, as opposed to taking it home it home and having the book lie in our bag as we played Playstation. And of course, it ensured you read every word, when unsupervised you may have chosen to let your mind wander and start skimming parts that were boring and not immediately relevant to the plot.

                    But on the other hand, if the purpose was, in part at least, to instill a love of reading, or even a love of the book being studied - Fail.

                    How would I organise it? Shit, if I knew that I'd be some sort of genius. Or at least an education czar.

                    • I totally take your point - it can ruin a book

                      but.... like you say - a lot of students won't (or can't) read it independently so... what alternatives are you left with? The obvious one would be the teacher reading it aloud to the class I suppose but that would get old pretty quick too I imagine.

              'the bible'
              its a selection of texts that varies according to the edition.

              Do they specifically mean the king james bible?
              wtf is this sort of list....who compiled it?

              • ...

                Well... they mean the Bible, don't they? It being literally a selection of texts that varies according to the edition - of which the KJV is one.

              • There has been a 'Canon' in place since c.330 AD I think

                Of which the only real variation is whether the Apocrypha (some "inter-testemental" Jewish writings) are included (Catholics say yes, Protestants say no). So it isn't really accurate to say the list varies according to the edition - whatever Dan Brown would have you believe.

                • sorry i was only going on what others have told me i suppose

                  i guess i have read the kjv one, painstakingly so....later on (after schooling) i have gone back to check stuf out when armed with interpretations of what something means historically and thats sort of better, but often damned difficult to do cos bits that are meant to be there (according to other books and treatises on it) actually arnt in the bible in the places that its said they should be.

                  I havnt read the book of thomas, mary magdelin, enoch etc those sort of tings, in fact there are quite a few books that arnt in the kjv....apparently as you say they are in the roman catholic one but not all the books are in that either...its kind of confusing..i suppose my next port of call should be wikipedia....so thats where im off to right now

              have no desire to read some of those though (life of pi, curious incident), and some books that should sooooo be on there aren't (against nature)

              planning to read a couple more eventually. really want to read some more hardy, and own crime and punishment. why are complete works AND Hamlet in there? Does having read measure for measure, as you like it, twelfth night, taming of the shrew, othello, macbeth, midsummer night's dream, romeo and juliet and the sonnets not count? grrrarrrrrrr.

                I haven't read all of the Bible, or the complete works of Shakespeare. Maybe if I ever get stranded on a desert island.

                Although it's not exactly 46 books, because His Dark Materials = three books and the Chronicles of Narnia = seven. One of which is also on the list. So maybe I could legitimately bump the figure up to 54. If I cared that much. Which I don't, obvs.

                In my defence I am 30 so I've probably had a few years on the rest of you. I also spent 3 years doing an Eng Lit degree, so reading books was something of an occupational hazzard.

                I just abandoned a lengthy reply that seemed amusing to me, but was a bit preachy and made me sound like I'm having a nervous breakdown.

                I've never really been particularly into "English Literature" (as in the kind of books people read when studying it - like that list) so I can't be arsed with most of that stuff. I'm sure if I'd gone to a decent school where you actually have an English lesson rather than a riot where the English lesson's supposed to take place I might have read a few more.

                  But I have seen films of a lot of the others and there's quite a few that I've only read bits of (like the Hobbit, which I've tried to read quite a few times but never got past the first chapter).

                There are some that I've been meaning to read for a while, and some that I've started and not finished...
