Say, Have You Read…?
I’m a little late here but back in January (!) Berlingske Tidende published the all-time list of books, people claim to have read even though they haven’t.
So, how did I do?
- J.R.R. Tolkien – The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Yes
- Leo Tolstoy – War and Peace: No
- John Gray – Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: 5 pages, then rolling on the floor laughing
- Emily Brontë – Wuthering Heights: No (No Jane Austen, either)
- James Joyce – Ulysses: Yes. Three times, actually.
- Fyodor Dostoyevsky – Crime and Punishment: No (Russians are not for me. Sorry)
- George Orwell – 1984: Yes
- Charles Dickens – Great Expectations: No
- Anne Frank – Anne Frank’s Diary: Yes
- Franz Kafka: The Process: Yes (But I’m stuck in “The Castle”)
- Johannes V. Jensen – Kongens Fald: No (But I have read “Den lange rejse” and chunks of his poetry)
- F. Scott Fitzgerald – The Great Gatsby: Yes
- John Steinbeck – The Grapes of Wrath: Yes
I might add that I own a copy of “The da Vinci Code”. I managed one chapter, then decided that the writing was hopeless.
Oh, and by the way: Here’s an earlier post.
