51

70 for me.

I have actually finished reading 35 of them, but have started reading others on the list that I never got to the end of

39

63 and a few more that I started but didn't finish (mostly Dickens).

40

What it says about a person I have no idea. I have read Hamlet, I have also read a lot of other Shakespeare but not the compete works. I think Dan Brown is crap. I have never managed to finish anything by Dickens. As a small child I was petrified by the Lion the Witcha nd the Wardrobe on TV so never read the books. So there you go, I have read 40/100 books from a list that someone else thinks ought to be read but I have read many, many more that do not appear.

What is this list anyway? Is it popular books? Really important literary books? Books which have changed society? Just seems like a random collection to me. I'm currently reading a geeky linguistic book so ya boo sucks to the list maker.

About 50 - plus several that I have started and then not finished. (And one that I have started many, many times, both in the original language and in translation, and have never made it to even half way through. One day...)

42

At least half the books on there that Ihaven't read I haven't read out of choice because I just have no interest in reading them. With a world full of books to read why limit yourself to what other people say are 'classics'?

34

13 and none of the books i'm waiting to read are on the list either!

40 out of 100 for me, although I have tried several times to read Captain Correllis Mandolin but have found it one of the most unreadable books I have ever come across!

Surprised at how many Charles Dickins I have read and was very pleased to see the Faraway Tree on the list - loved those when I was a kid.

32, and also have abandoned quite a few of the others after starting.

58, half of them at school, does that make me reasonably well-read? Gave up on Shakespeare after the comedies and obvious others. 2 x Potter books, couldn't be chewed with the rest.

A suitable boy by Vikram Seth, however, is the most beautiful book I've ever had the joy of re-reading. Don't be put off by its size, by the time you reach the end, you'll want another 1000 pages!

26 - some of those books I have tried but did not get along with. 5 people you meet in heaven is really boring. I struggle with Jane Austin - far too goody goody.

16 for me?! Good or bad, I don't care, toddlers are not conducive to giving time for reading

I'm on 70, but must confess to narnia and the lion the witch etc which give 2 points and not counting shakespeare,the bible and harry potter... as i can't say i've read the whole "collection"

Have read 72, and was really good and didn't include the ones I started but didn't finish (like Atonement - hated it!!) which would take me up to 80. Going to print list and check them off!!
