Funny story about 50 shades. My mom asked me for a torrent file so she could download it and put it on her ipod.
Turns out I accidentally sent her the porn parody, and she loaded it and listened to it for 45 minutes before having me listen to it because she was pretty sure that wasn't correct.

I think War and Peace has garnered enough critical praise over the years to suggest there's more purpose to slogging through it than reading it to seem smart. I mean, it's one of the books on my shelf of unread books, so I haven't got round to it yet, but I will.

Play it absolutely seriously as a responsible adult relationship in which bondage and BDSM in general are a part of bedtime funtime.

Erotic fanfiction isn't really the same as a porn parody.

1984, Catcher in the Rye, The Diary Of Anne Frank, To Kill a Mocking Bird, Pride And Prejudice and Oliver twist were all garbage I had to read in high school.
Those books are not garbage!
Fair enough, they are well written literary masterpieces, but they are so boring. Someone should teach Oliver Twist that he's a wizard and send him to a school of witchcraft and wizardry. That book would be amazing.

Also Ulysses isn't on the list? Maybe people don't chance their arm on that in case someone listening has read it and poses a question. If you haven't read Oliver Twist you can maybe bluff your way out of the conversation because you know the story. But Ulysses? Hoo boy no you probably can't.
I think War and Peace has garnered enough critical praise over the years to suggest there's more purpose to slogging through it than reading it to seem smart. I mean, it's one of the books on my shelf of unread books, so I haven't got round to it yet, but I will.
I'm surprised Moby Dick isn't on that list.
Moby Dick, Tom Sawyer, Huck Fin and Treasure Island are required reading, pretty much everywhere.
Dickens became much more enjoyable for me in college when I had teachers who realized he was a satirist
HS teachers took him SO SERIOUSLY
There's a short story where a chair turns into a ghost and gets a guy to thwart the marriage of the lady who owns the tavern he haunts and marry her instead.

(this is actually made by a Canadian company and illustrators, so does it count as "manga"? Not by most definitions which tend to essentialise into a geographical centrality of "Japanese", which is why definitions are a scam)

I've read the first and the last ones on that list.

Erotic fanfiction isn't really the same as a porn parody.
What if it's really badly written, almost satiric, if you will?

In the US, I assume. The list I posted was from a BBC survey. Over here required reading in schools is, or was, more about Jane Austen than Melville.
We did P&P (which I didn't read until much later, bluffing my way to an excellent grade), The Handmaid's Tale, Hamlet, The Merchant of Venice and hmmmm Seamus Heaney I think. Maybe some others, but those were the main ones I remember from pre-university English.

Manga if Manga was defined by creepy bug eyes.

I love how there is an appropriate thread for me to shit on The Great Gatsby again.
What an excellent book that no one can emotionally connect with and has no bearing on society at large outside of people who grew up in the 20s or extremely wealthy socialites and CEOs of 2018.

lots of literature is incredibly overrated
i think sometimes certain authors or books become pretentious enough to reach some critical mass where everyone has to agree they're great even if they're not (some of shakespeares plays are boring as shit come at me bro)
or it's just a case of tastes changing with the times, W&P may have been a riproaring rollercoaster in it's day but by modern standards it seems to be a tedious grind of a book

tom sawyer and huck finn seem like very north american things to me
i mean i've heard of them but they don't have the same cultural appeal here as Moby Dick
The Diary of Anne Frank had that great quality of reading someone else's private thoughts that they probably didn't want other people to read.
IIRC, her father said she was keeping the journal so people could experience what it was like in nazi Germany, and that she planned to be a writer once it was all over.

my dad has read it and said it was incredibly dry and boring
since i don't care too much about making myself look smarter than i actually am i guess i'll never go near it
I had to read it for school, i remember reading it, i just blacked out all it's content, because its the Great Gatsby.
How many of them were anime adaptations?

There's plenty of world literature still to read, it seems.
Oh wait
I read to Kill a Mockingbird in High School
I hate that book so much I refused to see it when I looked at that list the first time
HS teachers took him SO SERIOUSLY

This may be so, but it's a judgement I feel only people who've read the book can make.
