i dont understand why Perfume is such a highly esteemed book, I got so bored like it was an interesting concept, which is why i read it but like there was nothing to it! and the guy used the word olfactory about 15 times a page
as for 1984
i loved it, it was brilliantly written but the books concept has now been appropriated and transformed in so many different ways that its not groundbreaking like it would have been at the time, so I understand why its not higher
and honestly I'm so sick of Austen
love memoirs of a geisha though and i dunno why the kite runners so high, its good but its not one of the best books of all time...
