Book Shame

Just the other day I was emailing with my virtual friend Chris about books we haven't read and are embarrassed not to have. His was Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano; mine was (is!) Herman Melville's Moby Dick. We both have copies of our unread books and we both have good intentions, but......

Today on the blog at Hunger Mountain many editors reveal their Book Shame, classics they feel they should have read by now but haven't. I'm happy to report that at least one other person hasn't read Moby Dick!

Since my last post was about reading, and the previous one was about shame, book shame seems right up my alley.

What about you? What haven't you read that nags at you?

Shame on Me

"What people are ashamed of usually makes a good story.” F Scott Fitzgerald

I saw this quote on Quotes4Writers, the Twitter feed (worth subscribing to, if you like these kinds of quotes).

So, what are you ashamed of? Okay, now write.
