Beth F | 342 comments I've read 36 and only put stars after the ones I own but haven't read yet. I also didn't put "love" behind any of them because I forgot I was supposed to be doing that until I'd already gotten 3/4 of the way through the list and didn't feel like going back and doing it again.

It's Sunday morning and I'm feeling lazy. :)

message 19: by BJ Rose (new)

BJ Rose (bjrose) | 1489 comments Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.

If I counted right, my totals are:

Read = 25 + most of the Bible + some Shakespeare + some Sherlock Holmes
Plan to Read = 33 + more of the Bible + more Shakespeare

I love to read lists, but I'm always curious about how decisions are made. And, as some of you already mentioned, why they put individual titles in the list when they already had the complete works listed

I was thinking the same thing... That 6 would be a good average in a country with no reading habits, not England lol

Lori Walker I'd hate to know the average number for Americans and these books.


message 31: by Carol (new)

Carol (caroldias) Well, if the british average is 6 books I really don´t want to know the Brazil average. Minus one, maybe :(


message 32: by Kate (new)

Kate (kathrynlouwca) I have read 20 of them, which I think is pretty good considering I am 20... Most of the rest are on my TBR pile. I think I might try to incorporate this into my personal goal!

Katie Flora Wilkins (kflora) | 0 comments I've read 15 and loved most of them!
The 18 I marked TBR I already own, there are others I'm sure I'll get to eventually. (sigh!)

Five of these were required reading at my high school. And one was required in 8th grade. That put me at six books by age 17(actually it was maybe 20 of them since I read a lot of the books for fun in highschool). I'm 24 now. It does seem odd that the number is so low. Also used a "-" for anything I hated.
read: 42 (lol, how odd)
tbr: 11 or more maybe

I prefer my reading to be entertaining, and I find many of the so-called "classics" to be boring as hell. So if I don't like the style of the writing - I don't read it! Too many books I would rather read, I guess. I have read a lot of the Bible, and a lot of Shakespeare's plays, but not all.
