Long weekend Humiliation

[chickenfeet]

It's time for another round of Humiliation, the game that wrecks academic careers.

The Rules:

1. Each player must nominate a book that they have not read. This must be a book that a reasonably well read person would be embarrassed to not have read. Pride and Prejudice, for example, would count. Dianetics would not. This is an explicitly elitist game!

2. I create a poll that gives each player a chance to indicate which of the nominated books they have read. The 'winner' is the person who has not read the most read book.

3. Only two qualities are required to play; honesty and deep seated cultural insecurity.

Nominations will close in 48 hours.

Let Humiliation commence!

I actually finished that one after about 3 years, it was the rest of his books I somehow never managed to pick up, despite having the full set.

You should drop the newfangled translation and read it in French, or in the old Scott Moncrieff translation. The new one is appalling.

I nominate Great Expectations.
