  • Just 22 for me, so far. Have ten more unread on my bookshelf though.
  • 36 - most of the rest are Jane Austin!
  • 14 for me. Must do better.
  • Only 18 for me, surprise as I read a lot, but obviously not the right ones.
  • 44 for me.
  • 35, although a lot of the classics I read at school.
  • 26 - but funnily enough two on the list (Woman in White and Tale of Two Cities) I've read since Christmas. ...

  • A mere 31, and I'm an English graduate. A few of them are on my 'to do' list mind...
  • 49 most that I missed were Jane Austen and the Brontes. I read a load of them with/for my kids though.
  • 43 for me - I'm glad that 'A fine balance' got in the list, great book.
  • Read 9; left 4 unfinished. I read more factual books though.
  • 7, I did read all 32 volumes of Janet and John but they weren't listed.
  • edited March 2014
    23 - s'pose years at sea is the reason

    The Little Prince is a wonderful book if you know what a hat doesn't look like.
  • 2!

    Surprised its that many to be honest.
  • Started 2, both for school, but don't think I completed either

    Very surprised how many others have read
  • 16 .. who drew up this list ? .. no more than 2 would make my personal top 100

    "The Da Vinci Code" should be worth -ve points.

  • Have started about 25 and finished about 6.

    I've never really been enthused by fiction - probably not imaginative or maybe empathetic enough.

    Alan Curbishley's autobiography however.....

    after 53 pages of the DV Code I gave up .. what a load of old rubbish .. sold trillions though .. does that make it a 'great book'? ... an 'essential read' ? .. does it f***
  • (My excuse for only reading 31 is that since discovering Thomas Pynchon, literally nothing else measures up. CL Gravity's Rainbow book club anyone? :D)
  • 14, most of which were childhood, but then it was virtually all classic fiction, hardly any biographies, sport, travel, music etc
  • 52 but I teach English! So many of them I have always intended to read...
  • I have actually read 6 of them. although 3 others unfinished and i own almost all of them. I am only 23 though.
  • 53! That's what an English degree does to your social life.
  • 1. The Harry Potter Series..

    Not read anything since I was a kid.
