Heard of all of them... Larry Send a noteboard - 13/07/2012 06:32:16 AM
Nice list here. Do you agree that one should fake it? ;)


Read all but Foundation and The Long Tomorrow, while I paused through Infinite Jest two years ago and somehow never returned to it, despite liking what I had read (did finish DFW's unfinished The Pale King, which is an amusing turn of phrase, I suppose).
