In David Lodge's campus novel, Changing Places, he describes a game called Humiliation in which readers confess the titles they have not read and score points based on how many others have read them.
This is my Humiliation list. Books I have intended to read for some time and never read, books from my favorite genres that I should have read by now, and in many cases, a book that stands in for the many books I have not read by a major author.
If you score five stars on this list of books I'm embarrassed not to have read, good for you: you are well read! But we all have big holes in our reading lists... I challenge you to create your own Humiliation list.
