I think I've only read Fahrenheit 451 and The Odyssey out of all of those.

Really? I just figured a lot of those were required reading for standard English classes. I’ve read everything but about a fourth of them. You couldn’t pay me to read Rand.

yeah

which ones have you not read?

at my high school everyone in my Sophomore year who wasn't in honors English was like required to read Romeo and Juliet, Lord of the Flies, and Catcher in the Rye during the Fall semester but for some reason my teacher chose to opt out of reading the 2nd and 3rd books to read a bunch of short stories instead so I haven't read Catcher in the Rye but I want to

Not sure if I've read all of Romeo and Juliet. I know I've read some of it, at least. But the others I don't recall reading. So they weren't required at my school I guess. I know I've read The Scarlet Letter, Of Mice and Men, The Great Gatsby, & 1984. I'm trying to recall others. Some I read in high school and a few I had to read in my college English class.

I'm usually the see the movie before reading the book type or starting to read the book a little bit first because I like to not know what's going to happen when I watch the movie and then the book usually helps to explain things that I didn't get or flesh out characters more.

I've read Of Mice And Men and Great Gatsby

I took some sci-fi and gothic lit classes in hs and college which were a lot of fun

Oh, that’s awesome! I love when people take the time and keep track of all of these literary references. Thanks so much for sharing that article.

Thanks for sharing. Didn't realize there were so many.

**Talula78** · 09-02-2018, 12:20 AM

These kinds of things make me realize how much is out there I don’t know about! Have I been living in a cave??
