1. Ulysses
2. The Great Gatsby
3. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
4. Lolita
5. Brave New World
They seem to love Joyce as they also have Finnegans Wake as #77!

We read Brave New World in College a long, long, time ago in a place far, far away. I used to think that I was a Beta, but maybe I really am just a gamma ?
.........I saw the Lolita movie - it was good FOR ITS TIME, but nothing compared to today's Cinementology.
.........Maybe new versions of these 2 movies would be interesting?
