No shit. It's his 'best' work and took Chauceur in college so I had to learn to read it in the Middle English it was written in.I'm patiently looking forward to other USMB members lists. lol
Remember it's not your top ten books but the top ten books you think American's ought to read.
I don't think we should all read the same 10 books.
We're a diverse nation.
I think a list of 50 books that folks ought read at least 10 from would be better. People gain more insight from reading stuff they enjoy reading, its hard to force yourself through a list of books.
I had the fortune of having a high school senior english teacher who let us, the class, veto books that we thought we boring and sucked, so long as we gave them an honest go at it. Wuthering Heights got the fucking ax.
Wish I had that vote against Canterbury Tales

BOY does he suck as an author!!! About as great as a week old ham sandwich left on the counter. He'll make you sick for that forever.
I don't think there are any books that everyone needs to read. To be honest, I'd be happy just to see everyone read at all.
Reading for pleasure is far too uncommon.
I say the same about Atlas Shrugged.Yep, it is hard. Moby Dick is one of the worst pieces of writing ever published, the only thing I ever read that was worse than that was Billy Budd.
Everyone should Read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein, you will add it to your Top 10 list
[I'd replace it with Road to Serfdom.

Blech! A simplistic and shallow book.
