OP posts:
tjacksonpfc · 23/03/2010 15:55

26 but i have to admit i havent even heared of some of them

CatIsSleepy · 23/03/2010 16:00

I've read 67
discounted a couple because I couldn't actually remember if I'd read them or not

CatIsSleepy · 23/03/2010 16:02

bit of an odd list though

CheerfulYank · 23/03/2010 16:08
  1. I felt proud until I realized that that was less than a third. Cripes.

not bad but agree funny mix

luciemule · 23/03/2010 16:18

22 - which I thought wasn't great but then who cares .

LimburgseVlaai · 23/03/2010 16:20

35 or thereabouts. I was born and raised in the Netherlands so that's fairly respectable, I suppose! I get marked down by being a Dickens-hater.

duckyfuzz · 23/03/2010 16:24

46, which I am quite pleased with

AbsOfCroissant · 23/03/2010 16:25

There are many problems with this list. 1) the COMPLETE works of shakespeare, and then listing Hamlet etc. later on? 2) all the Harry Potter bollocks next to Tolstoy - that's just wrong and 3) there's no option of "I tried to read it, honestly I did, but it was miserable and awful and nearly made me give up reading ever again." surely that would count?

Acanthus · 23/03/2010 16:29

56

That's not too bad, is it

OrientCalf · 23/03/2010 16:30

41

I think the reason why Dan Brown is on there is because they're not so much quality books, but famous ones iyswim - ones that people have opinions on etc

It has the complete works of Shakespeare and Hamlet separately though, which is odd

53/100, could be better. Some of these are on my 'when I get around to them and am feeling worthy' list.

Plus a few I have started and got so bored I had to stop reading

oldenglishspangles · 23/03/2010 17:14

12 - lots on there I will probably read and lots doubt I ever will.

GinaFB · 23/03/2010 17:18

36 - not too bad not brilliant!

wahwahwah · 23/03/2010 17:24

38 but do I get Brucie Bonus points for a) reading none of the Harry Potter and b) reading Ulysses (yes, all of it). What is this list?

Southwestwhippet · 23/03/2010 17:29

I've read 46 but there are about another 10 on there i started and coudlnt finish (mostly the Hardy's - I really don't like Thomas Hardy).

brightyoungthing · 06/04/2010 15:48

Only 13 I'm afraid! But would never want to read the ones on that list that I haven't already read.

ToastieLover · 06/04/2010 16:00

40 read, 5 or so via audiobook, further 5 ish television/film adaptation.

Bit much to ask one to read the entire works of Shakespeare?! I've seen/read a fair chunk of the plays and poems, but not every last little bit. I mean ... the historical plays ... who has the time?

4plus1 · 06/04/2010 16:02

does having watched the film count? lol

ToastieLover · 06/04/2010 16:07

4plus1 - I think I just really wanted to get to 50
