I don't do memes, but if I did, I'd do this one

Time's 100 books meme
(nicked from itsjustaname)

TIME have picked their 100 best English language novels from 1923 to the present.


So how many have you read?

4 (Four, count 'em)

Which ones have you read? (or indeed haven't if that’s a quicker way to do it)

Animal Farm
The Lord of the Rings
1984
Watchmen

Do you have anything to say in your defence?

I don't read populist trash.

Next...?

A somewhat similar list here... with the more literary ones from school:

Catch-22
The Catcher in the Rye
The Grapes of Wrath
Gravity's Rainbow
The Great Gatsby (I think at school - didn't make a lot of impression if I did)
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
Lord of the Flies
The Lord of the Rings
Neuromancer
1984
The Painted Bird
Slaughterhouse-Five
Ubik
Watchmen

So 14 I actually would claim

What's worrying me is that I didn't study any of mine at school.

Um, yay comprehensives?
