Are you sure these are the books one has to read before they die? But it's mostly nonsense, Marx. :D

 

Ok, I'll concede on 1984 and maybe the Edward S. one. The one I dislike the most there is the bloody Alchemist. It's a children's book.

Have you read this book?

 

Let me tell you this.

 

It's brilliant. It's peculiar, annoying even. But not peculiar in the sense of "Finnegans Wake" which is just really unbearable shite in spite of what people will tell you. This is one of the best books of the last 50 years.

It is rare that a truly important social question gets expression in a book of fantastic literary sensitivity. To Kill a Mockingbird is the story of a coming-of-age girl that witnesses the wrongful treatment of a Negro accused of rape in the 1930s' South. This is a timeless classic. Harper Lee's writing style is exceptionally smooth, easy, and inviting. It is beautifully written and worthy of any reader's time. The story is delightful and humorous, leading the reader to appreciate innocence, honesty, integrity, and kindness in a time when these attributes were more widely practiced and valued.

Often, elaborating extensively about a person's psyche can be a demanding task for a writer, especially if he/she wishes to keep the reader glued to the pages. Dostoyevsky achieves it with terrific ease. Crime and Punishment is a didactic novel which superbly dramatises Doestoevsky's view of sin, guilt and punishment.
