I've read 9 out of these 10 - the only one I'm missing is "To Kill a Mockingbird". Just wondered how many of these other forum members have read?

Okay, I have read the Lord of the Rings and The Bible.......
and have seen the Harry Potter movies, To Kill a mockingbird, Nineteen Eighty four and Wuthering Heights, does that count? <G> I tend to not read a book if I have seen the movie. Oh and Jane Eyre too, my mother loved that and watched it all the time so I have seen that one as well.
