I love that all books are from 1923 on and in the English language. Cause, you know, nothing is revelant before then.


I didn't think books were entertaining, so I put here.

amazing, must have been written by someone who shares Galts opinion that movies pre-1972 are all unimportant and should be destroyed. Fuckin native son, I hate that book so much. No fuckin clancy novels?

I read 27 out of the 100.

at least 5 of them had to have been mandatory school readings. I never would have read native son if it wasnt required.

why dont people just knock off the shit and stop saying "graphic novel"?

I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.

That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

whoever asked why clancy wasnt on the list should have their eyes gouged out so that they can never read again.

sorry, but it's far from a comic book.

spider man is a comic book.

Watchmen is a novel.

I said clancy in a sarcastic manner.

and frankenstein, lord jim, and heart of darkness, were all published prior to 1923.
