I'm kinda embarassed by how many books I haven't heard of. Back in high school/start of college, when I worked in bookstores for several years, I prided myself on knowing all the books, ever. I'm especially embarassed by The Secret History since it came out in 1993, well within the time frame when I should have heard of it. All the others that I have never heard of came out 2002 and later, so I don't feel so bad about those. Yes, I checked the publishing dates. Yes, I'm a huge dork. Also, screw Hemingway.
