Reading list

TIME Magazine has released their list of the All-Time 100 Novels. I’ve read 21 of them. Not to shabby if I do say so myself.

  • Animal Farm, George Orwell
  • Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, Judy Blume
  • The Big Sleep, Raymond Chandler
  • The Blind Assassin, Margaret Atwood
  • Catch-22, Joseph Heller
  • A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess
  • The Confessions of Nat Turner, William Styron
  • I, Claudius, Robert Graves
  • Invisible Man. Ralph Ellison
  • The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis
  • Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov
  • Lord of the Flies, William Golding
  • The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien
  • Neuromancer, William Gibson
  • 1984, George Orwell
  • On the Road, Jack Kerouac
  • Possession, A.S. Byatt
  • Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut
  • Snow Crash, Neal Stephenson
  • The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, John le Carre
  • Watchmen, Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons

A few more statistics: I’ve read all three SF novels, the one graphic novel on the list (which is also SF), and have met three of the authors on the list (Gibson, Stephenson, and Vonnegut.)

  1. I’ve read 7, which is amazing since I don’t really read fiction. I’ve seen a few more of the movies.
