He read enough in college, so now he had no desire to read further. Plus, he already knows everything that's important, so why waste time?<BR/><BR/>With regards to the list, most people are read X number of books, because teachers made some of them required reading in school. OneHung is curious as to how many people have read that was required reading, and how many they read simply because they like to read.<BR/><BR/>OneHung has read exactly one book from the top 100, because he took it upon himself to do so...Chuck and the Chocolate Factory made for good reading in the sixth grade. <BR/><BR/>To Kill A Mockingbird and A Christmas Carol were required reading in grade school, and Of Mice and Men made the list because of high school.<BR/><BR/>For what it's worth, OneHung hasn't read, but has seen Lord of the Flies and Charlotte's Web on the silver screen.OneHungManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153343488554848976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317100709667509310.post-79643874699876230172009-01-05T12:57:00.000-05:002009-01-05T12:57:00.000-05:00Funny about Winnie the Poo.

I thought it was all a bunch of short stories that came in little hard cover illustrated children's books. <BR/><BR/>I think there are a lot of romance as per sean but I think that was when most of the novels written by male or female had that common thread because that is what sold. Even when the novel had a bigger theme, there seemed to always be a little love story subtext whether the author was a woman or man. (Exactly like films are today. Some things never change)<BR/><BR/> Although Bronte and Austin were simply love stories, that is all women were really "permitted" to write back then if they could get published at all.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111075448510276679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317100709667509310.post-72020667651295586382009-01-05T12:05:00.000-05:002009-01-05T12:05:00.000-05:00I haven't read as many as you, but I've read some ...I haven't read as many as you, but I've read some different from you.

I am currently reading Scarpetta..a mystery and love those kinds of things. Jay: I must say, I didn't see you as the type.

My tastes seem to run a bit different, I guess. I would recommend you read A HANDMAIDS TALE...but get a friend to read it too so you can do discussions of it....and I PROMISE, there will be PLENTY of discussions! Its about a society where women are not allowed to own anything (for starters) because we have no rights. Also, you should read THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE. I've been told its actually the story of Christ (the Lion). As you get into it, you can recognize certain characters from the Bible, even though its not written as such. Just a suggestion.<BR/>I just finished THE GLASS CASTLE by Jeannette Walls and am still in shock over this woman's childhood.Golden To Silver Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04585559845728927540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7317100709667509310.post-67157387215795527072009-01-04T17:55:00.000-05:002009-01-04T17:55:00.000-05:00Wow, I suck!
