    To Kill a Mockingbird, 1984, Animal Farm, Slaughterhouse-5, Rabbit Run, Lord of the Flies, The Big Sleep, Catch-22, Naked Lunch, Neuromancer...and WATCHMEN. All of 'em are on my All time favorites list. I'm shocked at how many I haven't read and several that I don't even remember hearing of.

    I pretty much quit reading fiction 10 years or so ago. Looks like I have some catching up to do. Just don't make me read Pynchon.

    The Big Sleep is one of your favorites? Really? I didn't think it was anything spectacular. Maybe I should reread.

    Kinda the prototype for noir fiction. It set me off on a couple of years reading stuff from that period and the more recent descendents. Actually got me hooked on the popcorn fiction of Robert B. Parker and his Spenser novels.

    I'm pleasantly surprised to see a graphic novel (Watchmen by Moore/Gibbons) on the list.

    Three guesses and the first two don't count. tsk

    Anyhow, I can't imagine anyone actually reading Naked Lunch from cover to cover. I tried, all I got is a bunch of abstract, mostly disjoined, ideas strung together.

    Kinda surprised, and I might of missed it, not to see any Ayn Rand on the list.
