10 of 13, apparently I need to read Bulwar-Lytton's Paul Clifford (who knew that snoopy wasn't being original?); Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle; and Dostoyevsky's Notes From Underground.
I'll pass on those three.

I'm not a huge fan of Russian novelists either, had to read that stuff in college.

I dunno, Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle sounds interesting.
I'll most likely give it a shot. [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Cats-Cradle-Novel-Kurt-Vonnegut/dp/038533348X/ref=ed_oe_p]Amazon.com: Cat's Cradle: A Novel: Kurt Vonnegut: Books[/ame]Amazon.com Review266 five star reviews, 72 four star reviews and only 42 three star or less out of 380 total reviews.
Cat's Cradle, one of Vonnegut's most entertaining novels, is filled with scientists and G-men and even ordinary folks caught up in the game. These assorted characters chase each other around in search of the world's most important and dangerous substance, a new form of ice that freezes at room temperature. At one time, this novel could probably be found on the bookshelf of every college kid in America; it's still a fabulous read and a great place to start if you're young enough to have missed the first Vonnegut craze.
I never knew 'well read' meant you memorized opening lines to fiction books. Now I feel even dumber because I've been fighting my way through this stupid Richard Dawkins book.
Agreed---I think "well read" means you can act all snooty at social gatherings.

Oh ok! lol.. let me know if you like it.

They're depressing. Although I will cop to having loved Kafka's The Metamorphosis.
I'm actually surprised they didn't have "Who is John Galt"?
I don't think I get invited to those kinds of parties.
OTOH I can pull off a 15 second keg stand, so I guess we all have different ideas of fun.
I can't really fathom people who don't need to read, incessantly. Like me.
