I have a feeling I'm going to be embarrassed by all that I have not read, esp as an English major. All I can say is my high school sucked.

You never read the Outsiders?? Oh man, that book totally shaped my young adulthood!

You read Ulysses, too? I hate that book more than any other. I kept my copy b/c of all the notes I have in it, just to be able to say I read the damn thing once. Ugh.
