Posted by joffre on 30/10/2007, 13:54:32 This seems fairly interesting, at least for skimming and for a topic here. I don't know any of these authors who've responded to the survey. I think Jennifer Egan was the author of the "chick lit" book that Jane Smiley added to the end of 13 Ways of Looking at the Novel. Oh, there's Margaret Atwood; I didn't even notice her name the first time through; I do know of her. I still consider "Faust" parts one and two the most important work i've never read. It has been for several years. I have never been able to make up my mind about which edition of it seems best. There are a few books mentioned in the article which I've not read. The Man Without Qualities has been sitting on my shelf unread for ten years now. I've not read Buddenbrooks. I've not read The Kreutzer Sonata, and I don't feel much interest in reading it. I've never read To Kill a Mockingbird. I have been neglecting of writers from my home state. I've read a couple Faulkner novels, but I've never read Eudora Welty, and, as I said elsewhere, I've had some aversion to Richard Wright.
