I have finished the 50.

Now onto the 100.

Way to go, Christine. Congratulations.

Thank you

[Kayleigh]

Wow, congratulations.

I feel like there should be some kind of medal you should get at the end for completing them all

For Whom the Bell Tolls is my favorite Hemingway.

So far it's my favourite too, with The Old Man and The Sea a close second.

Read Hyperion: 47 from the 100 list, I love sci.fi.

[Buck]

There are four books in the Hyperion cantos. They are all worth reading. My favorite was the third book, Endymion.

[[deleted user]]

Yes, the first book ends on a cliff hanger so I have already bought the next in the series. I'm looking forward to reading it.

Just finished Pet Sematary by Stephen King from the 100 list. Scary stuff.

[Illona]

I really enjoyed reading Stephen King books, especially the short stories. The Shining was probably one of the scariest, too scary, so I started reading science fiction instead.

[[deleted user]]

I like sci-fi too. The ending of Pet Sematary left you wanting to know what happened next, but also not wanting to know.

Finished 24 The Last Man from the 100 list. Very melodramatic, but I liked it.

[[deleted user]]

Read 16 on the 100 list A Farewell to Arms and 28 The Fault in Our Stars

A Farewell to Arms was ok, but I loved The Fault in Ours Stars, very moving.

[[deleted user]]

Finished 56 from the 100 list. The Name of the Wind

[[deleted user]]

Finished Tender Is the Night - from the 100 list

[[deleted user]]

Finished Jurassic Park 68 on the 100 list

[[deleted user]]

Just read How Green Was My Valley - 90 from the 100 list. Beautiful book.

Yes indeed.

Just finished Colour of Magic by Terry Patchet

I really enjoyed this but I don't know if I will carry on and read the rest of the series. 40 odd books seems like a bit too much.

I read the first two. I've been told that later books are better. I figure I'll probably read some more in the Discworld series eventually, but I agree, 40+ is too much

Just finished The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway from the 100 list.

Just finished - We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver from the 100 list. That is the best book I've read in awhile it was really well written.
