[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read great expectations but I know who wrote it. I assumed most other people do too. [/quote] I can name many books by famous authors, but haven't read them. I have an idea though about the books because they are so famous or they've been made into movie or musical. At school we learned genres, main representatives and saw list of their books. Had to pick one to read then write about it or discuss in class with the kids who also picked that book. Remarque vs Hemingway for example. I picked Remarque to read, but can name several books by Hemingway and later in life read The Old Man and the Sea. Once at worked asked 2 guys to name a book by Hemingway (was slow, we were bored). The American couldn't remember any, the foreigner knew several. I don't know what kids study at school here. Ask them anything that you think they should know and they don't know it. London is not the capital of Paris and there hasn't been a third WW yet.[/quote]
