  1. If you're looking for writers who had no demons, you are really, really limiting your selection

  2. I've actually thought many times about doing something like this

  3. I can't get into Walker Percy. I can't get into Flannery O'Connor, either. Even though both authors have been recommended to me about 600 times a piece.

  4. For a long time I was in the "I love him as an essayist but not a novelist" camp, but his fiction really grew on me when I actually gave it a chance

  5. I mean, 1984? Orthodoxy? Notes From The Underground? These aren't exactly obscure titles by overlooked authors.

  6. The moral of the story, based on the responses, is that nobody reads anymore. Many of the books listed here definitely should not fall into the "books nobody else in my life has read" category.

  7. Last one: The Worst Journey In The World about an Antarctic expedition gone horribly awry in the early 20th century. Incredible book and story, told by one of the survivors.

  8. One of the best history books ever written

  9. I love Solzhenitsyn but I found that one a little dull. I guess that was part of the point.

  10. Also Gulag Archipelago, vols 1 and 2.

  11. Also maybe Infinite Jest. Even though it's a famous book, it's hard to find someone who's read the whole thing. Plus you can't bring it up without sounding pretentious.

  12. I have a few in this category. Demons by Dostoevsky is one. Considered the least of his "major" works, but I think it was much better than The Idiot, which a lot of people seem to have read.

  13. What's a book you really like and want to discuss with other people but you can't because nobody you know has read it?

  14. The responses here pretty much universally pan the movie, yet I keep hearing that it's a huge hit. There seems to be a disconnect.

  15. Isn't "as good as" The Happening? Lord, it must be fantastically terrible in that case.

  16. The Mist may be the most underrated horror movie of all time.

  17. Is Bird Box actually good or is it basically Quiet Place minus the scares and the substance and the charm and John Krasinski's beard? The preview leads me to strongly suspect the latter. Please advise.

  19. Today on the podcast: Elizabeth Warren makes a rather hilarious attempt to be relatable. Also, a radical feminist appeared in a video promoting abortion, and bragging about her own abortion, to children.

    Incredibly impressive point about the Ravens finishing the season with the top-ranked defense: They faced most of the league’s top offenses, including the Chiefs (1), Bucs (3), Steelers (4), Falcons (6), Saints (8), Panthers (10).
