Actually, with Ayn Rand, if I'd read her, I'd probably lie and said I hadn't. I have no desire to read her. While I'm not even close to the best read in the world, I've felt I'm well read enough that I don't have to lie. For example, while at Boston Conservatory, I had to read about half of the collected works of Shakespeare and analyze them in class-which is far more than most people have read. I've not read Melville's "Moby Dick", but I've read both Hugo's "Les Mis" and "Hunchback"-which are also very long and occasionally tedious. I have not read any of the titles you mentioned cover to cover. Of course, being a recovering Catholic I have read The Bible, but I do not claim to have read it cover to cover.
