Are you telling me you've never read Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights?

You're sacked.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[blue-cat.livejournal.com]

*Shudder* I HATE that sort of literature.

Thomas Hardy was the worse - I wanted Tess to die so badly!

[onyxtears.livejournal.com]

well I have read just 3 of those.
go me!
for I am dumb.

Wot? Is that it?

[applez.livejournal.com]

Surely you've read more and poorer than that! :-)

You have far too many recognisable literary works in that list, you need crap pop-lit like Star Wars or Robotech novels ... no, I'm afraid even your Pratchett vaccination isn't strong enough. ;-p

Re: Wot? Is that it?

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I've read the original Star wars novelisation and some Mechwarrior titles, if they count?

Then again, I'll read anything.

Re: Wot? Is that it?

[applez.livejournal.com]

Yes, they do count, and importantly ... it gives a fuller, more well-rounded picture of how poorly read you are (at least as poorly as I ;-p ). :-)

Re: Wot? Is that it?

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Hey, you're ex-OUSFG. I don't expect you to have read anything intellectual *g*

Re: Wot? Is that it?

[applez.livejournal.com]

Ooo...low sniping that is simply untrue. Don't make me go and gather my literary horde to bust up your room eh! ;-)

(say, didn't the last inter-collegiate war break out something like this? 18-something-or-other?)

Incidentally, with my eternal membership, I am OUSFGi forever(TM)! ;-) Hey, I even managed Left Dead Hand of the Past...great honour for older gits don't you know?

And From your list...My reads are...
