I haven't read "Hamlet", either
The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer
Yes and somewhere in my basement I have an old lp of highlights read in the correct pronunciation. You're so attracted to that, aren't you.
Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville
Blech, no.
Ulysses by James Joyce
I should.
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Yes but only once because it was assigned. Since I am practically contemporaneous with Bob Cratchitt, this was a really long time ago.
The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie
No and probably never will.
Moby Dick by Herman Melville
Life is too short to read this book.
Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace
Barely even heard of it.
A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
No and I heart physicists but ... no.
Remembrance of Things Past by Marcel Proust
YES! and en français as Dieu intended. All the volumes. I used to have a poster of a diagrammed Proust sentence in my office. That and the Chaucer record make you want me, don't they.
The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco
Yes. Loved it, loved the movie.
Don Quixote by Cervantes
Most unread classic there is. If it were from France, I would have read it. Since it is from Spain, I have not.
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
Not from France, either. Plus, three times I have tried to read Crime and Punishment and three times I have given up in boredom. No Russian novels.
As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
No but I loved "The Sound and the Fury". I should read this one.
