Humiliation, Round Four: The Nominations
Posted 4 September 2008 in Books by Catriona
I think, in the wake of Classic Books That Must Be Read!!!, that it’s time for another round of Humiliation.
Same rules as before: in the comments thread below, nominate a book that you haven’t read, but that you think everyone else has.
Nominations need to be in by 9 a.m. Saturday morning (6th of September).
Once all the nominations are in, I’ll open a separate thread for voting. As always, you’ll receive one point per person who has read your nominated book.
The winner in this good-natured game is the most humiliated!

Tim, Matt nominated that one last time: I’m quite happy for you to re-nominate it, but he did only get one point. Apparently, no one’s read it but Nick.

Ooh, good choice, Tim. Do you get extra points for the fact that I’ve read it about thirty times?

I think so, yes.
(I’m actually reading it at the moment, but I haven’t finished.)

I’ve never read the Eyre Affair. Tried a chapter, bounced right off it. I should try again one day.

Jonathan Swift, Gulliver’s Travels. (Also my philosophy subject readings but I suspect none of you have read John Macquarrie’s In Search of Humanity so that would make it a bad choice)
