Wow. That's one heck of a challenge. Good luck!
I'm shooting for 8-10 books a month off the lists. Hopefully more because at that pace it's over 10 years.
I hear you. If I read 100 books per year, it would take me 10 years to read all the books I own and 18 years to read everything on my to-read shelf here at GR. I need to start working towards 200 books per year.
Just finished reading Gone With the Wind. One of the most difficult books to read and yet so compelling. Difficult because it's a book that glorifies the Klan and the author's inability to see black people as individuals. This book was on both lists. I can see why the British loved it- it's about losing an Empire, a way of life, published so soon after the British had lost theirs.
Oh my goodness. You must be my reading idol.
OMFG! Shay, my head hurts from looking at you list. Give me an guesstimated date on when you think you'll be finished.

I read about 550-900 books a year. But, mostly mysteries, science fiction/fantasy, etc. I think I've only been averaging about 8-10 classics a month. Depending on the length, quite a few classics I've read recently have been 800+ pages. So, I think about 10 years for the lists unless I start reading more classics. Which, truthfully, I don't know if I can do. Because I think it's okay to read "just" for enjoyment- light reading. I mean, a lot of times I read to escape, so I don't want to have to think.
Book #10:
by A.S. Byatt. The above is the 1001 list made in 2006. This book, written in 2009, was included on the 2010 list. Makes me wonder if it's inclusion is premature and if it will itself be bumped off eventually. Is it a good book? Yes, but not a really great one. Is it influential? Too soon to know. See why I'm wondering why it was included on this list? It was well written and had that British way of making you insanely curious about absolutely repellent characters.
Book #11: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. I first read this for school almost 20 years ago. I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it. What I didn't like was the teacher droning on and on about the symbolism of the river- just sucked all of the life and fun out of the book. This time, just reading it for me, I thought it was incredibly fun and funny at times.
Sometimes teachers act like they know more about the book than the writer. I had a teacher who would always said, "Personally, I think...," while we were reading a book. It definitely made the book less enjoyable. With that being said, while re-reading it a second time did you see the symbolism of the river? Or was it all just baloney?

That it's fine to teach symbolism, but also to understand that unless you're enjoying a book, you won't spend the time really thinking about it. I think the most important thing to do when you're teaching reading is to turn kids into lifelong readers. That should be your main goal.

I've thought about becoming an English teacher but I'm not 100% sure yet. Do you think kids today would be more likely to learn to love reading by reading the classics or more contemporary novels?

I used to do both. Every year, we actually read Shakespeare. My principal was not too thrilled about the Shakesperean Insult Contest and Sword Fight, though. Also, every other book we would just sit around in a circle and have a book discussion. No book reports, grades just based on the discussion and an online message board (good for the really shy kids). Principal was not wild about that either- the no book report thing. But, what she was wild about is that I had the highest percentage of kids who passed the No Child Left Behind tests and number of kids who got into honors English in high school. (There was a waiting list of kids whose parents wanted me as their children's teacher.)
I'd defiently want you as a teacher, especially if you could make reading Shakespeare enjoyable. Two years ago I read Julius Caesar in class and I almost died of boredom. I didn't even understand half (more like 95%) of what the heck was going on.
Sashana wrote: "I'd defiently want you as a teacher, especially if you could make reading Shakespeare enjoyable. Two years ago I read Julius Caesar in class and I almost died of boredom. I didn't even..."More like semi-enjoyable + the honesty of just admitting that sometimes all you get out of reading something is the ability to read well. I always admitted to students that sometimes there's no real point to reading or learning something except that it's required and expected.

The discussion of symbolism and whatnot in English Lit classes is why I don't like English. I always wonder, "Do writers really put these objects and/or color there and go, 'This is a symbol for x,y, and z. I wonder if the readers will be clever enough to see it'?" It didn't make sense to me to deconstruct a book like that. I've always felt that books were meant to be enjoyed, and not to become a chore.

It's a little slow towards the end, but what book is perfect?

This is also why I didn't major in English, despite my love of reading and good grades in those courses.

Food for thought...When I request books from the library, I use up most of my 40 precious holds on books I really want to read (mysteries and UF). So, once people start talking about how great book "x" is I'm way far down on the list by the time I request it. What I've noticed is that most of the "literary" books that people claim to read look almost unread. Or, they're "worn in" through the first 1/4 to 1/3 then they are pristine. I waited almost 4 months for The Passage, it had probably been through 10-12 people's hands and the copy I had- the spine cracked and crackled after the halfway point. It was pretty much unread! I've waited for about 2 months for The Finkler Question and it was out way before I heard of it, so it's probably been through 8-10 people and it looks brand new! My point? Most of the people who look down their nose at people who read mysteries, UF, romance, etc. are probably full of crap. They haven't read most of the books they claim to have read- probably only read the reviews. Even on GR I noticed that quite a bit of what (some)people say about these literary books sounds like it was lifted from the New York Times Book Review.
That is pretty interesting, Shay. I know that I myself have gotten by a couple of mandatory English summer reading lists by reading only half a book. Feel guilty about confessing that to an English teacher... haha Luckily for me, all we had to do in English class for our summer reads was to write a summary on the first day of class. :)
Shay, I agree - I doubt most people actually read the book and of the handful that did, only a few try to sound snooty and intellectual. I understand that reading those books can be a status symbol, but it's kind of a lame one. We all enjoy different types of stories. Just because I read quite a bit of smut and fluff, it doesn't make me a flaming moron. I just know when to let my brain off the hook for a while!
Book #12: War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. Parts of this book were great- Tolstoy has a wonderful ability to create finely detailed characters and write a scene full of emotional nuance. The rest of the book, however, is a mess of third rate philosophical rantings and mutterings. Still, for its influence on the development of the novel, I was prepared to give it 4 stars. But, the ending. One of the worst endings in all of literature. Bad in so many ways it defies description.
Book #9- BBC Big ReadThe Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel
When I grew up, there wasn't a lot of YA fiction that featured strong girls. The closest was maybe Nancy Drew. So, it was a revelation to meet Ayla in this book. I so dreaded reading this book I loved as a teenager, but it was even more wonderful this time. If you saw the cringe worthy movie, it didn't do justice to the book. Yes, it basically followed the story, but didn't capture the spirit.

1001 Books#14: The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai. Makes you both happy and ashamed to be an American. Happy because being a citizen is a blessing. Ashamed because we take it for granted and begrudge other people who just want to live a decent life here and are willing to work for it. I'm so happy one of my ancestors decided to come here and it wasn't me that had to start from scratch in a new country.
So, I noticed that I'm reading a lot of "Number" books. for example, One Grave Too Many. So, my challenge to myself is to read books with numbers in the title from Zero to 100. The number can be written out in words like zero or numbers (0). The numbers can appear anywhere in the title in any combination so long as it's "in order"- 1491 can be 14 or 49 or 91, but not 19 or 94. Numbered series cannot be used, for example no Janet Evanovich- One for the Money, etc.0=

#15 on the 1001 Books listThe Book about Blanche and Marie by Per Olov Enquist
One of those choices on a best book list that is inexplicable- it's neither great, influential, or culturally significant. In any case, even the author of the list must have come to this conclusion because this book is gone from the 2010 list. A good book, an interesting book, but a book that few would have gone out of their way to read if not for its inclusion on the list.
16. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. This was one of those books that I was sure I was going to hate. And then I end up loving it. It is an amazing book and I think it inspires you to either love or hate it. But, at least it's a book that is evoking emotions in people, nearly 60 years after it was written. I've read other books recently that are well written, literary, full of allusions, but left me cold- "so what" books that have no soul, if you will. This is not one of those books.
17. Animal Farm by George Orwell. A book that is wonderful, just as a "surface" read about the abuse of power. It's also fascinating as an allegory with animals standing in for Lenin and Trotsky.18. The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett. I loved the movie, but never read the book because Hammett is known for the hard-boiled detective. I didn't want it to ruin my love of the movie, but the book adds to the movie. Gives it a more tragic and solemn subtext of an aging, drunken man and the woman who loved what he used to be. In accepting a case, he's really going back and trying to be the man is wife fell in love with and the man he respected.
I heard Orwell wrote Animal Farm based on the Russian communist. Pretty cool how he went about doing so. I never read 1984 for fear it wouldn't be as good.
Sashana wrote: "I heard Orwell wrote Animal Farm based on the Russian communist. Pretty cool how he went about doing so. I never read 1984 for fear it wouldn't be as good."I liked both of them. I think that the same ideas run through both books. It would be easy to say that 1984 develops those ideas better, but I don't know if that's true. I'm always amazed at short, but wonderful little books like Animal Farm. Most authors couldn't convey a message that well if they had 500 pages.
My teacher made us read this book and most of my class mates were hooked (if you met them you'd know this was a miracle). I can't believe how gullible the other animal were and how dictatorial the pigs were. The sad thing is thats exactly how people are.
20. Rabbit, Run by John Updike. It's a testament to Updike's writing skills that he can make such an unlikable protagonist (backed by almost equally unlikable secondary characters) into such a compelling read. Imagine Holden from Catcher in the Rye plus 8 years.
Oops! I forgot to list my challenges from the Victorian Group for 2011.I'm one of those people that doesn't know what they'll feel like reading from hour to hour. So, I don't know if I'll get to all of these books.
1. Dracula by Bram Stoker.
2. The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins.
3. No Name by Wilkie Collins.
4. New Grub Street by George Gissing.
6. Yellowplush Papers, The by William Makepeace Thackeray.
7. Mansfield Park by Jane Austen.
8. Emma by Jane Austen.
9. Persuasion by Jane Austen.
Those are the last three Austen books that I haven't read. When it was my English Literature year in high school, I asked the teacher why Austen wasn't on the list. He said that we would not be reading any literature written by hysterics for hysterics and that "domestic" fiction was a rather base form.
I'd like to also read all of the books in The Chronicles of Barsetshire by Anthony Trollope
10. The Warden
11. Barchester Towers
12. Doctor Thorne
13. Framley Parsonage
14. The Small House at Allington
15. The Last Chronicle of Barset
I'm still planning to read the Austen, but I'm going to add 3 books that are actually in the Victorian Era.
16. Martin Chuzzlewit by Charles Dickens.
17. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
18. Moby-Dick or, The Whale by Herman Melville.
I thought it would be interesting to see books written in the Victorian era by American authors. Or, in the case of Dickens, an English view of America during this era
