It seems that NPR is on the same wavelength on which we are operating, given that this is the second post referring to them today. In an NPR blog called Monkey See, correspondent Lynn Neary writes about 'The Shelf Of Constant Reproach': Best Books You Never Read." These are those classic books that one owns and has been meaning to read--without much success. Ms. Neary admits to Moby Dick, anything by William Faulkner, and Lolita. I know exactly what she means, as I have whole bookcases that fall into this category. Maybe someday.........
The best book I never read (well almost) is One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I read about 70 pages of this book but could not for the life of me figure out what was going on in the story....Strange, very strange indeed.
