Jesus, I've read all but 15-20 on the 'girl' list and about the reverse on the 'boy' list. (Only about 15-20). However, I feel a great deal on both is overrated. I also find the title choices by authors interesting, as I would pick different 'great books' by many of the authors. (Example: Jack London's Martin Eden, in my book rates way above Call of the Wild. In fact, I can't understand why London doesn't consistently rate with Steinbeck and Hemmingway.)
But these days, I'm really into intertextuality. We have to be able to talk about how books relate to one another, which is why I think diagramming books' relationships to one another would be a really interesting way of learning about them.
