Book: What book are you most ashamed you haven't read?
Submitted by Byrne.
I'm going to estimate that, as an English major in college, I read approximately a quarter of the books that were assigned to me and I'm being generous. My writing skills extend beyond just proper grammar and usage and right into the fine art of bullshitting. I can't say that I'm especially proud of the fact that I bluffed my way through school,nor am I ashamed of it. Most of the other English students I knew did the exact same thing.
However, there is an extraordinarily long list of books I feel like I'm supposed to read at some point. I'm still rebelling a little and reading anything BUT "classics" but I hope to outgrow that and get back into "proper" literature at some point. I feel that as long as I'm always reading something and filing my brain with (relatively) good stuff, then I can be forgiven for not reading Ulysses. That book is super long! I'll read it some day though, I swear.
