It's disgusting really. I've been reading all my life and I could use the excuse that my focus has been on sci-fi and fantasy but that would make me a hypocrite. I haven't read any Arthur C. Clarke, Andre Norton, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, etc.
And with that I would love to tag a bunch of bloggers but I have no idea if they read this blog. So instead I leave it to your discretion. Will you allow your reading habits to be put under the microscope or does it even matter if you haven't read the "classics"?

I have read all of the Mr Men books, however.
I had to think about that Mr. Men thing for a moment. Do you mean the books like Mr. Tickle and Mr. Clumsy? I love those books!
There are plenty of authors on that list I haven't read....but a few I consider must-reads as well, such as Conrad (Lord Jim is awesome), Steinbeck, and Dostoevsky.
