message 51: by Gill's (new)

Gill's likes reading (wwwgoodreadsgilltaylor) Philip Pullman is an amazing writer. I enjoyed both the film "Amber Spyglass, and I saw it at Leicester Curve Theatre using puppets, absolutely stunning.

Sadly I am unable to keep physical copies of books and had to pass my copies on to Age Concern bookshop, so I am very jealous. I secretly would like to have an alethiometer, but I do have a daemon called Ella (my black cat) who follows me everywhere!

Shima (shimasara) I've read 9. So... looking at the other answers I really need to get cracking! But then again, I'm 27-y-o, so maybe I'm not _that_ behind?

Other 6 from the list I have already bought and are on the shelf patiently waiting their turn.

That's great though, almost half way! I have so far to go with this list xD


message 55: by Andrea (new)

Andrea (andrea_losko) I've only read 11 so far! I got a good chuckle seeing The Twits on the list! I remember reading that when I was 5 or 6 years younger.

This list makes me want to delve a little deeper in the classics, and from reading some of the previous comments, Oliver Twist sounds like a good pick! Although, it is very tempting to run out and grab a copy of The Godfather. A girl's gotta get her action fix, right ladies? ;]

Helle I've read 37, but a lot of them are on my shelves!


message 57: by Sam (new)

Sam (aramsamsam) I've read only 33, but there are so many books on the list I want to read!

Ash HC (ashwednesdayreads) I've read 23 of them

I'm slowly making my way through them...I'm up to 20 from this list now. I keep track of the full top 200 list on my blog and I've read a few more if you include that.
