Pride and Prejudice, and The Scarlet Letter, Are two of the most boring and dull books ever concieved.


????????????????????????!!! — 17 weeks ago

I wasn’t aware that to be considered a good book, it must be a classic-which is what this list is basically telling me. Ironically, The Scarlet Letter (#3), is my least favorite novel I have read. Where are the beloved books like ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’?

How can I uncheck an item? I checked a book by accident and I have not read it. I already tried, a pop windows appears saying “Are you sure you want to mark this item as unconsumed” to which I clicked Ok. But then it is still checked as consumed. Any ideas?? Thanks. (oh by the way sorry this is not directly related to the easton press’s list)

I don’t believe The Iliad by Homer belongs on this list, I recieved The Odyssey by Homer as part of this book club.

Changed the Chekhov plays to match the list source. Also reordered the list to match the source instead of alphabetizing. The alphabetization was all jacked up anyway.

Took the extra book off (Art of War). Also took off Shakespeare collections and added the individual plays that are supposed to be on the list.

Also added Lady Chatterly’s Lover and took off the critical analysis of it.

I think that the last two (Lolita and the art of war) doesn’t belong to the list.

Huh? — 2 years ago

Why are there 102 books on a list of 100? Which two don’t belong?
