Someone sent me this list of books. I admit that I have read just a few of them. Should I be embarrassed or is this kind of literature not important?

Well, Lolita is a classic, and probably read by most.
Fear of Flying by Erica Jong was quite the hit, probably due to explicit
language not meant for prudish ears/eyes.
I am surprised that Charles Bukowski is missing in that list.
"The End of Alice" is on the list. Weird. That was a disturbing book. Not sexy at all.
Since the compilers of the list seem to have a fondness for the more... umm... unusual I can't belive they didn't pick "Suburban Souls".
