Flip side? A book I would normally have *never* read, but I'm so very, very glad I did as I love it tremendously? "Love in the Time of Cholera," by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Magic realism is too close to lazy fantasy, but in GGM's hands this story really is magical. God, it's beautiful. Oooh! Flip side?

One thousand pages of a nineteenth-century English village. I've been meaning/wanting to read this for ten years. Same for "Democracy in America," by DeTocqueville. Never Finished: "Collected Short Stories" of Eudora Welty. Couldn't understand the fuss. Got bored. Also, "Hero With A Thousand Faces" by Joseph Campbell. (Does that count?) Windy like a fart. Modern Lit I've Managed To Avoid: Everything, if you mean published in the past twenty years or so. Stilted grotesquery paraded as deep meaning and realism. Gick.
