So Esquire put out a list of the 75 books every man should read. Here is where I go into my obligatory rant: Who are they to tell me what I should or should not read? What pray tell, will happen if I don't read them? They think they're so friggin' great that they know what books people SHOULD be reading? Okay, now with that out of the way, here's the list:
( under the cut )Not surprisingly. I've only read two of the books on that list, and Huck Finn was for high school and Heart of Darkness was for a college class. I did see both movie versions of Lolita, and the original Shining movie with Jack Nicholson though! Alas, I did not see the made for TV version with Brian from Wings. But that does remind me of
Toptenz's (a website focused on top 10 lists, bloody brilliant!) list of their
top 10 movie trailer recuts. They have
the Shining one at number one, but they don't have
Brokeback to the Future, which I think is funnier than some of the other ones on that list.
