Hmmm. I'm of two minds about this. I can buy their not having read the book, or heard of it; I can even buy their defensiveness about it (hell, if someone attacked me for not having known about the existance of something, I might get a little pissy -- I could see someone mocking me about football, and me responding with, "okay, if it makes me stupid to not know, or care, about what the definition of 'Hail Mary Pass' is, then I guess I'm stupid").

The only place I get lost is in the "how" they didn't know about BRAVE NEW WORLD. If they're only 17 or 18, I can buy it. Or if they grew up somewhere with a conservative school system. But if they're in their 30's in a blue state...then I'd be skeptical.
