Only 23 of them. Some of them are in my to-read list.
I've read 10. I started out strong, then ran into about 60 I've never heard of. Some of these I've started and never finished and a couple are on my to-read list. Lot's of ideas for what to read over the next many, many years.
I've only read 10 and only four are on my to read list.
only 16. and that's when I include the dune series (even though I have only read 3 and probably won't read the rest), the drizzt series (I've read a bunch, but not all), and the space series (read Out of the Silent Planet, but haven't read the other 2 yet)

Sorry. Is this not a contest?
I'm a jerk.

Ugh...only nineteen. Well they counted several long book series I'd read as one. But still, I have work to do!
Thirty Seven and with many of the others on my to read list :0)
32. I loved the codex series by butcher and everything gaiman. I taught several if these in my post apocalyptic lit class.

Too bad I cannot count how many times I have reread some of these. Most of the ones I have read I have read more than once and I am over ten for The Stand and Dune :0)
I have probaly miscounted but i got 57. Ive seen these kind of lists before and i have gone out of my way to read as many as i could. I pretty much have all the fantasy as that is my preference.
How does Outlander and Wheel of Time series only count ONCE? SHEESH! Not to mention GoT!
Sometimes I hate lists like these. No one tells me what books are worth reading :)Some of these I have not read because I have zero interest in them. I will give them credit, it has some of my favorites on it: Wheel of Time, Sword of Truth to name two.
Well, let's talk some of them up! I will list my 32 here and I can answer questions about any of them! 1 - Lord of the Rings
2 - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
3 - Ender's Game
5 - Game of Thrones Series
6 - 1984 (I taught this book in class)
9 - Brave New World (Taught in the same class)
10 - American Gods
11 - The Princess Bride
12 - Wheel of Time Series
18 - The Name of the Wind (LOVE IT!)
19 - Slaughterhouse 5 (I have read all of Vonnegut)
20 - Frankenstein (had to read it for class)
22 - The Handmaid's Tale (taught this one in class)
23 - Dark Tower Series
25 - The Stand
28 - Cat's Cradle
33 - Dragonflight (have read all of the Pern books)
38 - Flowers for Algernon (had to read for class)
43 - Mistborn series
48 - Neverwhere (LOVED IT!)
50 - Contact
52 - Stardust (huge Gaiman fan here)
57 - Small Gods (have read all Pratchett, nearly)
60 - Going Postal
62 - Wizard's First Rule
63 - The Road (didn't care for it)
80 - Wicked (didn't care for it)
82 - Eyre Affair (read only if you have read Jane Eyre)
86 - Codex Alera series (Jim Butcher is my boyfriend)
88 - Thrawn series (Star Wars)
89 - Outlander (have read several times)
100 - Space Trilogy (had to read for class)
I never uderstand why american gods is ranked so high on these lists. I didnt like it at all. But yeah a great many books listed here are parts of HUGE series. Wheel of time or sword of truth for example.

I've read 18, but some of those are full series that are 3 or more books.
I only have read 13 from the list. Hopefully that can be improved. Already starting to remedy this by reading Hitchhiker's Guide for Book of the Month.
11. Only 11. Have seen more of the movies though.
I am reading Dune now, so soon my number can increase to 33! I am closing in on Rodney! :) I want to read F451 and The Foundation Trilogy and then I will have the first 10 down. I am counting Dune first book only, since I have chronic serialitis and if I read book one I WILL read the rest of the series. I have an odd compulsion.

19. My taste in sci fi/ fantasy must be really different from NPR listeners.
36 1/2. I haven't read the whole series of Thomas Covenant. Yet.
Finished with #7, Fahrenheit 451. It was a short one! I am now up to 34!
I'm kind of surprised that I have only read 26 from that lit (counting series as 1 as the list do). But I guess it's because I always just read fantasy, and only started reading sci-fi last year. I'm currently reading 3 of the books on the list though (yes I'm one of those horrible people reading many books at once), and I have 11 on my tbr list. Might add a few I hadn't heard of.
