...but this is an incredibly weird list:
http://www.listchallenges.com/books-youll-never-brag-about-having-read/
I mean, there are the obvious blockbusters that people love to mock, like Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey and The Da Vinci Code, but otherwise a lot of the significance escapes me; they seem to be American popular political/psychological hits, plus the odd work of Nazi propaganda that a lot of history students will actually have read because they're studying the period.
Anyway, I've read 12/100, and I've got Peyton Place on the shelf waiting for me to get round to it...

Date: 2015-09-12 06:57 am (UTC)Also Jonathan Livingston Seagull because I was nurturing a gull with a broken wing at the time so of course it was called Fred Maynard Gull and I liked the photographs. I also have Neil Diamond's OST from the film.
Pride and Prejudice with Zombies, which I love because I laughed all the way through it.
I also have Mater's Sleeping Beauty trilogy but haven't read them.
