[Carbon]

Just wondering what pieces of classic/neo-classic literature you guys have read. I myself have read...

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
Watership Down
Childhood's End
A Seperate Peace
1984
Catch-22
Lord of the Flies
Heart of Darkness
East of Eden
Angle of Repose

Those are books I've read in the last few years, currently I'm reading Kafka.

1984 is most certainly NOT the book burning one. I think you're thinking of one named Fahrenheit (###). I don't remember what the number was...it's the heat at which paper burns I think.

The last thing I read was a Detective Fiction novel: The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler

I just read the Metamorphosis...that's Kafka. I've also read Slaughter House 5. Wuthering Heights is def a classic although I havn't read it.
