Museums, Libraries, and Archives Society's "30 Books Every Adult Should Read Before They Die"
Untitled — 4 years ago
Dostoevsky, Nabokov and Gogol are all well and good but actually if you asked people nowadays which ones they have read, Lolita or the curious incident, the diary of a madman or the time travellers wife then chances are it would the the latter.
JD Salinger, DH Lawrence, Nick Hornby…where are they? Ok I’ll admit Nick Hornby…not so much but you know.
Yes, they are classics but curious incident is a modern classic and is actually a very good book.
Although I agree this list isn’t that good at all.
JD Salinger, DH Lawrence, Nick Hornby…where are they? Ok I’ll admit Nick Hornby…not so much but you know.
But it was the majority that claimed these are the top 30 so who are we to question really?
Could be better (:
