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.

5-100
Watchmen was a comic. That counts ?
- Gooch - 10-19-2005
their list sucks.
interesting:
Watchmen
Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons
thats a graphic novel
- GonzoStyle - 10-19-2005
out of the 27 I can only say maybe 8 were good. Plays should count too though like tennese williams and such.
- HollywoodJewMoses - 10-19-2005
6!
- GonzoStyle - 10-19-2005

- lush - 10-19-2005

Does movie adaptations count? I guess not, then still two.

- Arpikarhu - 10-19-2005
i have read 14.
where the fuck is :
Lord Jim
Heart of Darkness
Brave New World
Frankenstein
just to name a few.
whoever asked why clancy wasnt on the list should have their eyes gouged out so that they can never read again.
- Goatweed - 10-19-2005
sorry, but it's far from a comic book.
spider man is a comic book.
Watchmen is a novel.
- Arpikarhu - 10-19-2005
does it have pictures in panels? its a fucking comic book. dress it up in whatever pretentious , "i dont read comic books" words that you want to, its still a comic book.
- Arpikarhu - 10-19-2005
Quote:the Watchmen series, published by DC comics
- TheGMANN - 10-19-2005
Yeah I said that earlier in the thread.
- Goatweed - 10-19-2005
I was speaking more in regards to its subject matter - but yea, technically its a book of pages consisting of pictures in panels.
