How Many Have You Read?

The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they’ve printed. Who cares? This was just fun to do, is all. Plus, I want to see yours.
**Look at the list and bold those you have read.
**Italicize those you intend to read.
**Underline the books you love.- I put those titles in color
**Strike out the books you have no intention of ever reading, or for whatever reason loathe.

(I didn't do that- I always keep my options open)
**Reprint this list so we can try and track down these people who’ve only read 6 and force books upon them.

Thanks for this great idea Relyn!!

Wow! In looking over my list of books I have really read a lot of the "classics." Ironically enough, many of the "heavy hitters" were actually read in high school during Russian Lit (yuck!- what was I thinking taking that?), English Lit (which I LOVED and still have visions of the moors and Heathcliff...), and Great American Lit. and the ever-popular Shakespeare class. I really think I should come up with my OWN list of 100 books that everyone should read!!! I'm sure MOST of the above would NOT be on it.

So- how many of the above books have YOU read???
