I think I might be crazy... Who, you might ask, decides to read the Top 100 Novels and then blog about them? I do, as a matter of fact! That's right people...I've compiled a Top 100 Novels list based on four other lists (NPR, Time Magazine and Modern Library's Board & Readers'). I intend on reading every single book on this list and telling you what I REALLY think about them. I don't care if my opinion offends anyone, doesn't make sense, or is just plain silly.
When I would read novels in my major courses in college, I did it out of necessity for a good grade. I HAD to write 10-page papers about this novel, 20-page papers on that novel. Now when I read, I can write two sentences in a blog that absolutely no one can grade me on. If no one likes it, I don't get an F. I get a complete sense of satisfaction knowing I can write whatever I want, my ideas can be wrong and I'm still forming a valid opinion of what I'm reading.
I can't guarantee the posts will be consistent, as my reading pace is quite slow. What I can guarantee is my complete honesty. So, continue reading...or don't.
