The 100 books to read in a lifetime: Part Four (The end, honest)

Sorry for the delay in posts yet again. Sadly this is going to be the nature of my writing life for the foreseeable future. Writing falls behind marriage, work, travel, sleep and occasionally yoga on my list of priorities. I would love to be able to carve out fifteen minutes to a half hour a day, five days a week, where I could just focus on writing. That said, I would also like two hours a week to work on jigsaw puzzles and that isn’t going to happen either.

Ok, time to finish off this damn Amazon booklist. Less snarky comments this time for reasons that will become readily apparent.

The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11 by Lawrence Wright: I’ve heard good things about this book but haven’t come around to actually reading it yet.

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkein: I know, I know. No one will ever belief that I never read any of the Lord of the Rings. Or sat through any of the movies. Look, if I didn’t like it when Led Zeppelin sang about hobbits I doubt that I would like it in literary form. I’ve tried but can never get past the first fifty pages. By the way, I found out today that Tolkein died the day before I was born so if you believe in relatively instant reincarnation that is a possibility.

The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat: Oliver Sacks: I’ve always wanted to read this book since at least high school and have no idea why I have never read it. I blame Robin Williams ruining Oliver Sacks for me in Awakenings.

The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan: I’ve read Pollan’s food writing just not this book. He does have the best diet advice ever: “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.”

The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster: The number of childhood classics on this list that I have completely missed is pretty astounding. The Berwyn Public Library served me poorly. Well, other than the fact that they started to let me take out books from the adult section when I was nine. Science fiction was right at the top of the stairs with the collected works of L. Ron Hubbard front and center. I will remember that forever apparently.

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingslover: Seen it in bookstores. Also remember seeing bookstores.

The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York by Robert Caro: Ok, Amazon, what the hell? Are you seriously telling me that for my life to be complete that I must read this book? I’ll take a pass.

The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe: Finally one where I can say that I have at least seen the movie. I have spent so much time studying the history of the space race I guess I could never bring myself to read a fictionalized version of it.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy: What an amazing, haunting book. I brought it with me to read on a vacation one year. This is not recommended. Not only did I spend hours in my hotel room because I just had to finish the book but I was also forced to wander around in a daze thinking really, really dark thoughts.

The Secret History by Donna Tartt: Figured that since it was a secret that it would be impolite for me to read it.

The Shining by Stephen King: I’ve read surprisingly little Stephen King (The Stand and It being the exceptions based primarily on my having watched the ABC miniseries back in the day). I don’t know if I was scared by the size of the book or the nature of the material. I’ve never liked horror as a genre in books or movies. It was just never my style.

The Stranger by Albert Camus: “Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday; I can’t be sure.” One of the most amazing opening sentences ever.

The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway: One of the better Hemmingway novels and great in that rough and tumble masculine way that probably has a lot to do with the fact that Hemmingway wore dresses until he was two.

The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien: I have this collection of stories and have read the title story multiple times but I am embarrassed to say that I have not finished the book. However, the title story is without a doubt the best story about Vietnam from the soldier’s perspective that I have ever read or could even think about reading.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle: I’ve read Ulysses. I haven’t read The Very Hungry Caterpillar. According to Amazon this is a strike against me.

The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame: Look, if Disney World can get rid of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride I feel that we can state as a society that we no longer have to read the book that the ride was based on.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami: I actually have this book, strangely enough, and got through about thirty pages before just becoming completely befuddled by it. Points for inspiring Mike Doughty’s best song outside of his Soul Coughing days, though.

The World According to Garp by John Irving: Same as the previous note but replace Mike Doughty song with Robin Williams movie.

The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion: Yeah, the lack of bold in this list of twenty five books is disturbing.

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe: Of course things fall apart. The entropy of the universe is always increasing.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee: Great book even if it has a lot less to do about hunting as the title implies.

Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand: I agree that this is, most likely, a book.

Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann: Personally I recommend Beyond the Valley of the Dolls: the absolutely bizarre movie written by Roger Ebert and that will cause you to freak out as only a really bad late 60’s / early 70’s movie could. I’ve seen it once and was like, “What the hell was that about.” Sigh. I miss Roger.

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein: I’ve never liked Shel Silverstein. I’ve had so many people talk to me about how wonderful the story of The Giving Tree is and all I can say in return is “the kid was a total asshole to that tree.”

Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak: Yeah, my childhood reading list was apparently lacking.

So, all told I have read 27 of the 100 books that Amazon states that I should read in my lifetime. Any claims that I make from here on forth about being well read can be dismissed in their entirety.

The five random CDs for the week:

1)      The Subdudes “Primitive Streak”

2)      Kathleen Edwards “Back to Me”

3)      Midnight Oil “Blue Sky Mining”

4)      Kelly Willis “Reason to Believe”

5)      Josh Ritter “Live at the 9:30 Club”

The 100 Books to Read in Your Lifetime: Part Three

Slight delay due to a side trip to Mardi Gras and finding ourselves a part of the Mystical Krewe of Barkus as well as the most insane, random quasi-celebrity sighting that we have ever had. Story to come later this week. Anyway, on to the books…

Silent Spring by Rachel Carson: I actually missed a trivia question once on who wrote this book. I don’t know what bothers me more that I actually missed a trivia question or that I no longer have a regular trivia game that I can use to supplement my income. Sigh.

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut: One of my favorite books and the one that caused me to simultaneously get an A and an F on the same paper. Essentially my analysis of the book was spot on however I was completely unable to keep a constant verb tense when describing a book that doesn’t have a constant timeline. To be honest though anyone who reads this blog understands that I can’t even keep a constant verb tense in the same sentence when describing what I had for lunch today.

Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin: One of those books that you read because supposedly every business leader is currently reading it. Surprises me that I haven’t read it for that reason alone.

The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton: Winona Ryder was in the movie, right? It’s sad that when seeing this book listed all I can think is that there was a movie made of it sometime in the early nineties and by law Winona Ryder was probably cast in it.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon: I have this book. Or more accurately, Kim has this book so it sits in our library and I get to act like I’ve read it. I also get to act like it is our library when in fact she owns about three quarters of the collection and my contribution to the bookshelves are pro wrestler biographies and the scripts to every Monty Python episode.

The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Malcolm X and Alex Haley: On the Alex Haley front I have not read this or Roots. I haven’t even seen more than a few minutes of Roots and have to readily admit that I know Levar Burton more as Geordi LeForge than anything else. This doesn’t just make me uncultured; I think it makes me a horrible human being.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak: Well since I oppose the stealing of books I am against this book on general principles. This is one of those books that I have seen read by every third person in an airport over the past few months if that means anything.

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz: Continuing the streak of books I haven’t read though at least I have read Junot Diaz. I’m taking pride wherever I can at this point.

The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger: Finally, my teenage angst has come in handy. I’m not sure if I consider this to be the classic that it has become but then again there is literary debate about whether it has stood the test of time. However it will always hold a special place in my heart as I have had a copy of Cliff Notes for this book since high school and continue to check off which books I have read that were listed on the back. Ok, as this list shows there aren’t many check marks.

The Color of Water by James McBride: It’s blue. The color of water is blue. There, I probably saved you four hundred pages.

The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen: No, I haven’t read this but I want to raise my complaint that while Chabon, Franzen and Eggers all made this list that David Foster Wallace did not. As I have constantly written Wallace is the preeminent writer of my generation and anyone who says differently just doesn’t understand the importance of tennis and central Illinois on the meaning of life. Or, to put it another way, I would like the fact that I actually read Infinite Jest to count for something in this life.

The Devil and the White City by Erik Larson: A story that is alternately about Chicago architecture and a serial killer. Surprisingly at times the architecture is the much more interesting topic.

The Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank: My favorite, sadly false, urban legend. Years ago, Pia Zadora was performing a stage version of this book in the titular role and doing a completely abysmal job of it. To the point that when the Nazis appeared on stage a guy in the crowd yelled, “She’s in the attic!”

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green: I am curious, has anyone read this book yet? I constantly see it in the bookstore and have heard a lot about it but I’m not sure if it is good or not or if it is just for teens. Legitimately looking for advice here.

The Giver by Lois Lawry: Sigh. No idea about this one either.

The Golden Compass: His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman: Remember when the film for this book came out a few years ago? I remember being told that it was from this famous set of stories for kids and I just stood there stunned because I had legitimately never heard of it. Never saw the movie either. It is entirely possible that this book is purely a figment of my imagination.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald: The greatest novel ever written. Plain and simple, don’t even try to make the argument otherwise. Oh, and while Kim and I were in New Orleans this weekend we had the opportunity to adopt a dog named Zelda. If it wasn’t for the fact that we already have the two most wonderful dogs in the world I would have rented a car just so I could have a Zelda of my very own.

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood: I’m happy this made the list and even happier that I have seen it included on high school reading lists. For all the dystopian books on this list (and there are way too many of them for my tastes) this is probably the most literary and thought provoking. Certainly the most feminist in its take on the future.

The House at Pooh Corner by A. A. Milne: I can’t say for one hundred percent certainty that I read this as opposed as to having it read to me but I am including it because a) I have the exact copy of the book that I read as a five year old, b) I made Kim ride the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride with me at Disney World and c) I may have hijacked my five year old niece’s character dinner in order to have my picture taken with Eeyore.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: Depending on how cynical I feel at the time I can be found describing the book as a wonderful description of how to put teenagers to good use. Either that or I feel that when it came down to Katniss and Peeta and they were told there could only be one winner the scene should just have been Peeta saying “Son of a….” and then getting an arrow to the back. No way Katniss was going to lose at that point.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot: Another book that I want to read as it is a combination of science and history and the little things that change the world.

The Liars’ Club by Mary Karr: No idea other than it isn’t Liar’s Poker, which I haven’t read either but at least I had heard of it.

The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan: Maybe I will check out the movie but I figure that the original Clash of the Titans has covered my need for any Greek mythology for the rest of my life.

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery: This story has always scared and depressed me. All I could think about is a small kid alone on an asteroid with only a flower for company and I grew incredibly sad. Also, the fact that it was such a tiny asteroid but had a gravity well strong enough to keep the prince on the surface as well as maintain an atmosphere to support the flower went against everything that I knew about astrophysics as a five year old and I couldn’t bring myself to believe in the story. I was a strange kid.

The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler: I prefer The Maltese Falcon but noir stories are awesome no matter which one you choose.

Another 7 for 25 and 23 for 75 so far. So much for being well read…

The five random CDs for the week (all by artists I have seen in concert as well)

1)      Liz Phair “Exile in Guyville”

2)      Sleater-Kinney “The Hot Rock”

3)      The Subdudes “Behind the Levee”

4)      Robbie Fulks “Gone Away Backward”

5)      Wayne Toups and Zydecajun “Back to the Bayou”

100 Books to Read in a Lifetime: Part Two

I will be continuing with the 100 books to read in a lifetime per Amazon, which might just be the 100 books that will provide Amazon with the greatest profit margins. We have reached a sad point in our evolution when multi-national corporations now not only develop our culture but then decides what is artistically valuable.

Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown: I’ve never read this book or had it read to me to the best of my knowledge. However, I have heard Jack Ingram perform “Goodnight Moon” in concert so that should count for something.

Great Expectations by Charles Dickens: Oh, Kim is going to hate me for this one. Dickens is one of Kim’s favorite authors and when she finally goes for her master’s in English her thesis will be on his works. I however, despite at least three separate attempts, have never been able to get past the first fifty pages of Great Expectations. It’s embarrassing. I’ve read James Joyce but not Dickens.

Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared M. Diamond: I am very surprised that I haven’t read this book yet. This type of non-fiction writing now makes up a majority of what I read. Combination of history and science and sociology and grand claims about how society works that can never be proven out.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling: I assume that everyone has read this book. Also, I assume that everyone read about Rowling saying that she wishes she didn’t have Ron and Hermione end up together which makes me say, “Thank you for finally thinking this through.” I’ve always said that the epilogue should show, after talking about Ron and Hermione getting married, Hagrid and Ron spending long nights at the bar with Ron going, “She just never shuts up. It’s always one cause or another and she is always right and can’t a guy just go home and watch the damn quidditch match without worrying about the plight of the left handed house dwarves?” It should have been Harry with Luna and Neville with Hermione.

Yes, Neville with Hermione. Look, it is clear that Neville was the chosen one the entire time and Harry was just a diversion by Dumbledore in order to hide Neville in plain sight while he secretly trained him and put forward this façade that he was a failure as a student. Do you really think that Dumbledore would trust the Chosen One to a muggleborn and the least talented Weasley boy?

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote: The classic tale of senseless murder in Kansas. Not only is this book the invention of the true crime novel but it is also just a fascinating tale of what goes through the mind of desperate people who are blinded by greed and desire. I held off on reading this book for years but it is definitely worthwhile to read just to get a sense of Capote’s writing.

Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri Never heard of it.

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison: Read this in high school and I have to admit that I wasn’t that impressed. It had an amazing prologue and first chapter but I could never get into the rest of the book. Maybe it just wasn’t the right time in my life to read it.

Jimmy Corrigan: Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware: Props for this list to have a graphic novel on it (and a Jimmy Corrigan one at that.) I have heard nothing but good things about this series and I am kicking myself for not having it in my personal collection.

Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain: An absolute must read for anyone who either loves food, the restaurant business or just loves killer stories by a guy who has seen it all. After reading this you will never, ever, think that owning a restaurant is a good idea. Brilliant, funny and one of the most enjoyable reads on this entire list.

Life After Life by Kate Atkinson: Haven’t read it but I did buy it for Kim for Christmas. We tried to count but I think we gave more books as gifts than anything else. There were legitimate piles of novels under the tree this year. If you want to know why the two of us are together just understand there was no present more enjoyable to give the other than a book that they weren’t previously aware of.

Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder: Is it sad that this is one of those books that I didn’t read as a kid because I figured that it was for girls? Like I read Treasure Island instead of this just because it had pirates in it?

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov: I’m a little surprised that this book is on the list. It is clearly one of the best novels of the 20^th century but it is also controversial, disturbing and not the most straightforward read in the world. Still, one should at least make one effort to enter the twisted and unstable mind of Humbert Humbert.

Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez: Definitely on my list of books to read in the relatively near future. Not sure why I’ve always been scared off of Marquez’s work given that I typically enjoy the magical realism genre in general. I’ll be sure to add this to my list.

Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich: Never heard of this one either.

Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl: Another blank from my end. I guess I have never had much desire to search for meaning.

Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris: I had to check my booklist but I have no record of ever reading this book. I have read almost everything else that David Sedaris has ever written but I’ve completely missed this one. I have no idea why. David Sedaris is great and you should at least give one of his essay collections a try.

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides: Another one that I should add to my list of books to read. I have read “The Virgin Suicides” though so I am a fan of Eugenides’ work. This one fell off my radar though.

Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie: I don’t know if I have ever met anyone who has actually read Salman Rushdie. I’ve known people who have bought his books and can discuss his life story but he is one of those authors who is better known than read and this comes from someone who is a huge fan of David Foster Wallace.

Moneyball by Michael Lewis: Awesome baseball book and a great look at how data and statistics can be used to change the way we look at the world. As someone whose entire adult life has revolved around spreadsheets and trying to figure out what numbers mean this is a great example of what I am trying to do at any moment in time. Sadly, I don’t have reporters following me around chronicling my every move. Not yet, anyway.

  

Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham: I tried to read this book a few times and could never make it through more than thirty pages. Some books just don’t connect with you no matter how hard you try.

On the Road by Jack Kerouac: I am not a huge fan of the beats but you should read this book just to get a sense of what it was like in that moment of American history. You’ll also come away with the feeling that Kerouac is a jerk and you should never lend him your car. Also, you will be amazed at how easy it was to travel the country by hitchhiking back then. There would be no way to write this book today without having multiple references to picking up serial killers.

Out of Africa by Isak Dinesen: When was the last time you heard someone reference this book (or movie)? Seriously, it has been probably thirty years since I have seen anyone even bring up Out of Africa. I’m pretty sure that if you are only going to read 100 books in your life you should at least try to read something that will remain in the public eye.

Persopolis by Marjane Satrapi: Another graphic novel, which is awesome. Surprisingly this list doesn’t include Watchmen or any of the Sandman books which are my clear choice for the best graphic novels of all time. Feel free to substitute those if necessary.

Portnoy’s Complaint by Philip Roth: One of those great American novels that is constantly described as a great American novel to the point that I have no real desire to read it. Anyone have any real opinions?

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: Yeah, I am horrible at reading Austen or the Brontes or anyone in that genre of authors. It is a huge blind spot in my literary collection.

7 for 25 today and 16 for 50 so far. Not a good start.

The 100 Books to Read in a Lifetime: Part 1

So a week or two ago Amazon came out with a list of the 100 Books to Read in a Lifetime. As with all these lists I have to immediately go through it, check off all of the books that I have read and then make very snippy comments on the selection process. I figured that I might as well make this process public as I will go through the list this week twenty five books at a time. Those that are shown in bold are ones that I have read while those that are not in bold have almost certainly been read by Kim who will use this as an opportunity to point out how close minded I am towards literature. Here we go…

1984 by George Orwell: Easily a classic and a book that everyone should read at least once in their life. However, if I had to choose an Orwell book to read in your lifetime it would be Animal Farm. That is a story that you can read in grade school that will stick with you for ages while 1984 is more a collection of great scenes an images as opposed to a great book.

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking: Honestly, this book is actually pretty readable and provides the best description of entropy that I’ve heard (how a glass might break but shards of glass will never reform into a glass without outside force). That said, unless you are interested in discussing the various ways to universe might begin and end this might not be the book for you.

A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers: I most remember this book for Dave Eggers talking about how he was almost cast on The Real World: San Francisco, was able to actually be on the show for one scene during the season and how when he met Puck he felt that he had to be on drugs. Oh and my dream gig when I become a multi-millionaire and can do whatever I want with my life is to build an 826 Valencia type organization but instead of writing I would work with kids on math and science.

A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah: Never heard of this one. Apparently it is about child soldiers.

A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket: Haven’t read it but I probably should at some point. Having Jim Carrey starring in the movie adaptation did little to encourage me to pick up the book much like the fact that I now don’t even want to watch the animated version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L’Engle: I finally read this book last year and I could never figure out why everyone was such a fan of it. It just did nothing for me but I doubt that it was written to be read by a guy who was about to enter middle age. Forty year old men and rainbows and unicorns just don’t mix.

Selected Stories by Alice Munro: I’m not surprised by the inclusion of a short story collection on this list but would have thought they would have gone with George Saunders instead. I still haven’t read his work either which really bothers me at the moment.

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll: A book that you could read for the logic puzzles, word play, mathematical imagery or as a psychological investigation into an author who is coming up with fantastical stories to tell to a young girl that he may be attracted to. Also helped lead to the popularity of Jefferson Airplane and is thus responsible for Jefferson Starship and Starship and “We Built this City on Rock and Roll” so you can blame Lewis Carroll for the worst song ever recorded as well.

All the President’s Men by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein: I haven’t read this or seen the movie, which is a crime on both fronts. Incredibly, this is all reporting on something that happened forty years ago which means that for a college student today this has about as much relevance as the Korean War had for me.

Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt: You think you’ve had a hard life? Ha! You know nothing about what a hard life is like.

Are You There, God? It’s me, Margaret by Judy Blume: Ok, I am pretty sure that I didn’t read this as a kid but I probably at least started it at some point. I certainly read my share of Judy Blume as what is now called being a tween but back then was just simply called being a snot nosed kid.

Bel Canto by Ann Patchett: No on this one. Would rather read something by Terry Pratchett.

Beloved by Toni Morrison: Haven’t read this but I have at least read one Toni Morrison book before thanks to the one English class I took in college. I should read this at some point.

Born to Run by Christopher McDougall: This is about the Mexican tribe who are incredible long distance runners who I learned about decades ago when they were featured on an episode of Road Rules. I am not making that fact up. This was back in the good old days when Road Rules simply consisted of a few people in an RV having incredible adventures as opposed to just being a casting call for another season of Real World / Road Rules challenge.

Breath, Eyes, Memory by Edwidge Danticatt: Never heard of this one, either. About a journey from Haiti

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller: Another absolute classic. I’ve heard some people critique this book recently, probably because it has been praised beyond belief for so many years that it has fallen out of favor. Still the story of the insanity of war is one that will always need to be told.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl: I haven’t read this one mainly because having seen the film many times as a kid I am more than a little afraid of having to deal with the boat scene in written form. The real world is scary enough as it is.

Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White: No, I’m not crying. It’s just a little dusty in here…

Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese: No idea.

Daring Greatly by Brene Browne: A little help? I would at least like to think I should know of the books that I need to read in my lifetime.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney: I haven’t read it but I have met the author. I don’t know if that should count for something or if it is really pathetic that I have met a bestselling author and still haven’t bothered to actually read any of his books.

Dune by Frank Herbert: I blame Sting for not reading this one. I’ve always been told that it is one of the classics of science fiction but all I can see is Sting in a diaper and giant space worms and I can’t be bothered to pick it up.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury: An absolute classic and one of my favorite books of all time. Again, I would replace 1984 with Animal Farm as to me this is the best of the dystopian future novels of the cold war era.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson: I really need to read this one soon. I did at least read some of Thompson’s essays that he would write near the end of his life. I’ve always been scared off by how gonzo his writing is supposed to be and I didn’t know if I could ever figure it out. Now I feel that it will make a lot more sense to me.

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn: I will read this book this year. I am bad at reading the popular book of the moment but at least now I no longer openly scoff at them.

9 for 25. Not a bad start but I know there are people who read this who will easily have that beat.

Best of 120 Minutes: A Jeff Buckley song. All you need to know.
