Yeah I may need to reread some of them.

Well I've read 20 of them. I'm only 26 so i think i'm off to a good start. However, in my defense for not having ready very many of them...I am a BIG reader. At least three books a week, if not more!!! However, my tastes run towards history so those books aren't on the list :D

I've only read 37 of them :oops:

53 here. Some of those are among my favorites. I read alot (several a week) and there's many, many that are not on the list of "classics". You are right, Henry, some of those books are really difficult to get through, but I have a hard time quitting a book once I start, unless it's really bad.

18, but most of them were a requirement for school, lol.

Sanveann

I've read 29 ... plus part of "Les Miserables" (hint: do NOT try to tackle the unabridged version!) and some Shakespeare, but certainly not his complete works.

MadQuilter

19 - and a bunch not on the list. Can I help it that Terry Pratchett isn't listed? My interest in reading fluctuates but my need to commune with my sewing room is pretty steady.

Tink's Mom

43, Henry! Plus how many times I have reread Little Women, Gone With the Wind, any of Jane Austen's...
I rarely will leave a book unfinished, some of these were school requirements. My tastes today run more to lite reading, like Debbie Macomber, Jude Deveraux, etc...

I read 28 from this list. I prefer mysteries and scifi and bios depending on who and who wrote. I heard that too, most general articles and fiction are geared for the 8th grade level. TV news is at the high school level. Makes a person wonder about our nation's educational system, huh?
