I've read 70 of 100 plus 6 more if you include series where I've only read some of the books.

And I've read 45 of the top 50.

No kidding.
Also, it says something to the validity of the list seeing how many people have read large portions of it.

Yes, I agree. That makes it strange for a published Top 100 list! Maybe that says something about SF/F.

I've read 10 on the list.

Although I've attempted several more but couldn't finish them.

I would guess that most of the books on the list which I haven't read came out within the last 30 years or so. I was definitely around during that time, so that's no excuse. I guess I shouldn't have re-read "The Hobbit" half a dozen times, but picked something new instead.

If you include multiple readings then I've probably read 150 of the top 100.

Since last August I've read three more from the list: Old Man's War, The Song of Fire and Ice and half of the Sandman comics ( I'm not a comic person. I got bored and quit)

But the reason for this post is this flowchart from SF Signal on navigating the NPR list.
