LINK: Any top-100 novels of all time list which does not include War and Peace (side note, which I repeat only because the night I read War and Peace was undoubtably the worst thusfar in my undergrad career*, which I feel qualifies me to complain about it endlessly: as Lewis Black once said vis-a-vis the tax code, "if I wanted to read 6000 pages of unreadable dreck, I'd read War and Peace four times." Funny because it's true, don't you know), even if the list relies overly on 20th-century literature. Nobody's perfect, I guess.
PLUS: no more paragraph-sentences for awhile, I promise.
*I actually didn't read all of War and Peace in one night, just the middle 900 pages or so.
