Time Magazine has released a list of 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present. Here's what I've read from that list:

• Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
• The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
• Lord of the Flies - William Golding
• The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien
• Neuromancer - William Gibson
• 1984 - George Orwell
• Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson
• To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
• Watchmen - Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons

Tried to read but couldn't finish:

• Gravity's Rainbow - Thomas Pynchon

As you can see, that's about 9 out of a 100. Obviously, I'm a lot less erudite than the Vikster, who's read 44!

Vikster, if you're reading this, I will suggest that you find and read the only graphic novel in the list - The Watchmen. Not because it's the highest reader rated book in that list (that's probably 'cause it's the most accessible to us proles) but simply because it's a great starting point to a brand new medium. If you like it, I would suggest:

• Maus - Art Spiegelman
• Persepolis - Marjane Satrapi
• A Contract with God - Will Eisner (actually pretty much anything by Eisner is good.)
• and of course 10 volumes of Sandman - Neil Gaiman and various artists

(Now, I'm heading to the library. Gotta catch up!) (Sprechen, how many have you read?)
