Anybody read this? Excellent read. It's the 'fourth greatest fictional book ever written'. And, oh, it's about a homicidal pedophile. Which is a plus, seriously.

No, I've been looking for it in the library actually. It's part of my 'Read more classics and less brainless entertainment during the holidays' scheme. Right now I have The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy and a gossip girl book, so I guess it's an even split. o.o

Well, there's a good mix of British, American and Other writers, unlike some lists I've seen. *cough*American lists*cough*.
I've only read Catch-22. Meh.

If there are thrillers in the list, then it's an American list.
Most of them sound... boring. Lolita and Brave new World were good.

The American lists I've seen were biased towards American writers. Catch-22 was both funny and sad, it's about this world war II pilot who keeps trying to desert and meets lots of eccentric characters.

I have never heard about it, but I think Mwamba might like it, being a pedophile herself. :D

Look, half of the forums says she/he is a male pedo. So, can we compromise and say it' 50-50?

If the other 50% knew it was a joke, but some of them are starting to believe it!

Damn right. We shippers are a conniving group of people.
On topic, the book seems really interesting. I'll have to find it.

Yeah, none of the libraries I went have it. I don't want to know where it's been, personally. Maybe I should just go and...buy one.
