I have two of those? But I don't have all 77, or 77 books at all, I do have a copy of Doom; Knee Deep in the Dead, however. I used to have the whole series but I lent the last 2 out and never got them back, which is fine, Knee Deep and Hell on Earth are the two worth reading from the Doom series.

A bunch of those are required reading in school so basically this list is "books that literally all people who went to school (aka not the dumb ape mud people) own" Nice racist list, human being.

If literally every white man read those books, the world would be such a better place. I'm white though and don't literally own even 1/2 of the top ten in that list. Which aren't even that good (read 9/10)

2. Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut 3. A Confederacy of Dunces, John Kennedy Toole 4. Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace 7. The first two volumes of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R.R. Martin 9. Catch-22, Joseph Heller 10. I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, Tucker Max 11. Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand 17. Fight Club, Chuck Palahniuk 20. The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck 31. Lucky Jim, Kingsley Amis 42. Patriot Games, Tom Clancy 58. Godel, Escher, Bach, Douglas Hofstadter 60. A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking 64. The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien 70. The Big Sleep, Raymond Chandler 72. A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess 73. House of Leaves, Mark Danielewski 78. American Psycho, Bret Easton Ellis (a glaring omission from the original, pointed out by Naomi Fry) So 18/79, not bad. I've read a bunch more of them (and not read some of those). I had no idea "Lucky Jim" was a book anyone had heard of, I literally found it on a park bench one day and have never had the inclination to read it. Who the gently caress buys the 9/11 commission report? e: I also have Doom, knee deep in dead, are we adding that one???

I have owned six of those and I currently own two. A bunch of those titles were on my high school english mandatory reading list so it's not fair to count them (catch 22, etc.). Also I sold them back.

I don't believe in owning books, it makes you seem smart and I find that sends the wrong message.

I have a lot of those books  but I don't have Shogun and a few of the others. And I also don't have the whole Shelby Foote civil war series just the first one. But I do have a bunch of McCullah and DK Goodwin civil war books, so that prob makes me extra white.But I am a black dude. Apparently a really white black dude.
