100 Greatest Books: ''Moby Dick''
by Herman Melville
|
|
Published: 1851; Pages: 614; Rating: Good
During my senior year in high school Mrs. Curington assigned me Herman Melville as the subject of my last high school thesis. Lo and behold within the fairly finite resources of the Kerens High School Library there was indeed a copy of Moby Dick and so after the big whale I went. This whale was probably too big for a kid with Saturday night on his mind and not a 500 page book. I did read it and read all of it, but when I started it for the second time around here recently I could remember virtually nothing about the book other than some of the characters. But, the thesis did get written and Mrs. Curington grudgingly handed out an A minus on the paper. She just had to put that minus sign on it because she was Mrs. Curington.

100 Greatest Books: #1
''Pilgrim's Progress''
by John Bunyan
|
|
Published 1678; Pages 189; Rating: Blah
This was my first volume in the "One Hundred Greatest Books of all Time" series, and was not that impressive. I guess the rating of books by professional critics is kind of like the movies. Sometimes you see a movie that the critics adore for its artistic quality, but you are ready to get up and leave before it is over. This is one of those books. I have a mental block against starting a book and not finishing it no matter how rough it is, thus this was read from beginning to end, each and every last word. I even closely examined the pictures (there were several).
