I've read 27 of the books on the list. I'm embarrassed to say that i read The Five People You Will Meet in Heaven. It was an accident. Forgive me.
Good list. I like the mix of classic and fun. |

I'm too lazy to bold and italicize which, but I completely read 45 books on the list and got halfway through 6 more, for a total of 51 if the book is half-read or 45 if the book is half-unread.

I've read 30 of them listed and im 15...i guess i'll put the others on my reading list (my reading list is now is the size of 'Gone with the wind').
This seems to be quite a bizarre list though... quite spread out. If it's supposed to be a definitive collection of the classics there are some gaping holes...no Wilde? no Pratchett? no DH Lawrence? no Arthur Miller or Bernard Shaw? and they've listed the entire works of Shakespeare? Odd.

better than I thought I would do!
Wow. An even 50 for me. Some of my favorite books are on this list. Then again, there are a lot of books I didn't like at all on here too...
I suppose what makes great literature is subjective. I'd be much farther ahead if I had finished a lot of the ones I have in italics- but I just didn't have the heart. I even have some on my bookshelves waiting to be read. I should probably get on that, huh?

Only 16. But a lot of them are on my to-read list, so I feel like that number should increase significantly after this year.

Not too shabby compared to the statistics posted in the OP's beginning post. Not surprised to see many of them were dystopian novels, which I love.

I almost always finish a book once I start it, I'm just weird like that. If it interested me enough to pick it up, I usually want to see it resolved. I think plenty of people have read more than 6 books on this list. In school we were required to read many of these books.

26 full reads (and a few partials). Not bad. I gotta say there's something surprisingly attainable about seeing these book arrayed in one list.

24 full reads, but I was surprised by the books on the list. I would not have included the Da Vinci Code with the books listed, for example.

I read 13. I read Hamlet and several other Shakespeare, but I can't say I read his COMPLETE works.
Well, 13-1/2. I got partway through the Da Vinci Code before I threw it out. And I would say 14, but I read Catcher in the Rye in high school and hated it. I don't think forced reading should count. I don't get the point of the list, however, Are these all books we are all supposed to read to be considered literate or a member of the human race?

But I'm young and I have time! Think I can knock out a good 40 of those in the next few decades (or so I hope). |
