Just curious! I love reading and I am always looking to read great books. For the last few years I have really been into science fiction, but I have been thinking about re-expanding my horizons to some old/new classics that I have not touched yet!
Answer
I think being "well read" would include reading some of Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, William Shakespeare. Perhaps dabbling in some Faulkner, but I wouldn't say he's required. Usually things considered "classics."
But that's just for the old stuff. To be "well read" as far as novels go, I think you also need to be up and in on the newer books -- The Kite Runner or Three Cups of Tea, for instance.
I also think that "well read" encompasses more than books; you should read poetry, newspapers, magazines, that sort of thing.

What are some great dog names inspired by cult classic literature?
Sienna
I'm adopting a little brown mutt and want a cool, original name for him. I am looking at names either inspired by the 60's/70's hippie generation or great rock and roll bands (The Doors, Led Zeppelin, etc). Or a great name inspired by literature...cult classics or just great books. I couldn't think of anything that appealed to me from Jack Kerouac (he's my favorite)...but something along these lines..(a few idea I had):
- Atticus Finch (not very original, ive heard this a lot before)
- Tralala (like from Last Exit to Brooklyn...but thats a weird dog name and is a girl)
But that gives you kinda of what I am going for. Any suggestions welcome!
