[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, in 1984 we read 1984. Unfortunately, more great books have come along since and she was probably busy reading those. Ones you've never heard of. [/quote] She hasn't heard of them, because these 'great books' were around for five minutes, before being replaced by another crop, which will in turn disappear. The point, as it were, for a canon is to read books that have stuck around for a while, and probably will in the future. Classics junkies endlessly go on about the Great Conversation -- not just to bridge living older and younger generations, but also through which you can communicate with both those from the distant past and the those yet to come.[/quote]
