Long weekend Humiliation

chickenfeetIt'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!

Date: 2007-06-29 10:53 pm (UTC)I also haven't read Ulysses (embarrassing for a person with a comp lit degree). Or more than about 50 pages of Proust (embarrassing for a French specialist).
Or Catch-22, or Huckleberry Finn, or Moby Dick. OK, I'm going to stop this now. I still think 1984 is my most humiliating.
