My 11 percent

I stumbled across the Time magazine list of the 100 best English-language novels of all time. For the record, here are the dismal 11 of them I have read:

• Catch-22, Joseph Heller
• The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger
• The Day of the Locust, Nathanael West
• The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck
• Lord of the Flies, William Golding
• Midnight’s Children, Salman Rushdie
• Neuromancer, William Gibson
• On the Road, Jack Kerouac
• Portnoy’s Complaint, Philip Roth
• Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut
• White Noise, Don DeLillo
