Actually, I haven't read any of the books on that list cover to cover. I've read much of "the Canterbury tales" for school, but not all of it. I'd like to be able to say that I've read "A Christmas Carol", because I like Dickens, but I've heard the story so many times (or seen in movies), that I just don't have the desire to read it. <br /><br />I had an English professor who was a huge James Joyce fan, and reading his short stories was enough to turn me off of ever trying his novels. I did have to read "Wuthering Heights" for that class, and resented every second I spent with those characters. <br /><br />The classics that I have read, and enjoyed, were "Great Expectations", anything by Shakespeare (though "Hamlet" is my favorite), "To Kill a Mockingbird", "The Chrysalids" (Wikipedia says its US title is "Re-Birth"), "The Time Machine", "Dracula", and I don't know if it counts, but absolutely anything by James Tiptree Jr.Taymalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894922480703350634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-76364436974715941222010-09-07T23:23:39.677-04:002010-09-07T23:23:39.677-04:00Okay, now I'm worried because Infinite Jest is...Okay, now I'm worried because Infinite Jest is actually on my reading list for this month, but after seeing the words "unwieldy bulk" twice in the short description, I'm not so sure about it.Jenniferhttp://jenniferpickrell.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-11658363494078133902010-09-07T18:12:25.352-04:002010-09-07T18:12:25.352-04:00I read "A Christmas Carol" every year du...I read "A Christmas Carol" every year during the holiday season.

Well, that's not really true.
