Nope.
Not gonna happen.
I was a shitty student. I managed to bullshit my way through having read very little of the assigned reading.
Of course I regret it now. I hate that there was a time in my life when I actually had time to read, but I didn't take advantage.
..dammit... three people have stolen that friggin meme from me, and ALL of them have read more books than me... heh..
These are some great works. Question is: Which do you most enjoy?
I remember enjoying A Farewell to Arms. I liked that one enough to read every word, rather than purchase the cliffs.
well, Sam... off the top of my head, I'd have to say Solzhenitsyn's "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" ... hell, I LIVED that for two years... well... almost...
Key - Eric,
I can't decide...Too many good 'ens to choose from...just too many...but , these are all good.
