Hmmm, don't know what that says about me, or what I was taught in school. Seeing as I was in the top class, it makes me wonder what in hell was on the curriculum that I never read any of these books for school. I see why it's a list of the most unread books. I'm shocked at the number of them I haven't read. Ah well.
