Much to my surprise I've actually read 16. Who'd a thunk it? Of course if I count all the books that were mandatory reading in High School and College I could triple that but I don't really count them. In one eye and out the other, no real connection with the brain during the process.

27, but I'm much more interested in how the list was compiled - I know for sure that any list of a hundred that I made would be hugely different.

I've read 54 of them, though I agree with the comments about the list being a bit sloppy.

39 for me. Does my count go up because I've read some of them more than once? If Tess etc. can be listed more than once, I think rereads should count too...

My many thanks to HomeInMyShoes to dig this thread up!!
(shamed face) I counted, and recounted, and can't believe that I only read 19 of them. I didn't count the books I found too boring to finish. But my excuse is, this list is a bit... weird ![]() |
