Things in Print Thursday :: a play-by-play of someone else’s list of 100 books to read before you die

2 Feb

This week, the list comes from Literary Workshop at Blogspot.

Italicized titles are ones I’ve read.  Bolded italicized titles are ones I liked.  Underlined italicized titles are ones I read for school.

The Bible (ish)
The Odyssey by Homer
Oedipus, Antigone by Sophocles
Beowulf by Anonymous
Othello, Macbeth, Hamlet, and Lear by Shakespeare
The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, Twelfth Night by Shakespeare
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Moby-Dick by Herman Melville (I read… parts.)
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (again, parts.)
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien (again, the blasphemous explanation)
Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
and I’ve read like… two Flannery O’Connor stories.
14 out of 100 read.  4.5 out of 100 sincerely enjoyed.  10 out of 100 read for school.
