Amazon's List of 100 Books to read in a lifetime

Kind of a weird conglomeration of books . . .I've read 64 of them and have quite a number of others on my TBR. For those reading with us this month, Angela's Ashes made the list.
I've only read around 20ish. There's a lot more kids and young adult listed than I expected.

I've only read 22. Gone Girl is on the list?!

I only got 90 books .... but I've read 49 of them.
It really is a strange selection! I am surprised I have read so many of them . . .I must be influenced by these editors on some level!
Anita wrote: "You only got 90, BC? Odd!"I only got 90, too, so 53/90
I got 37 (thanks in large part to the children's books).
I've read 32 and have a couple more on the tbr.ETA: After I read the other comments, I went back to count how many books showed up for me in the list and I only counted 75, so that is 32/75 books. Not sure what happened to the other 25!
I've read 19 of them. I'm surprised by that number.
Okay ... opened the link at home and there are 100 ... and I've read a total of 54 of them.Seems that on my work computer ("smaller" screen) only 6 titles per row showed .... Here at home ("larger rectangle" format screen) ten of the rows had 7 titles, accounting for the missing 10 titles. S*I*G*H

I found 100 books listed. As BC pointed out, there are not the same number of books per line, some are 6 and some are 7 in the line. I've read only 32.

S*I*G*H ..."Hmmm, and I only saw 5 titles/row, which I guess explains why I only saw 75 books, in total.
But, I didn't think my PC monitor at home was particularly small. It's not particularly large, either, but... :-( You'd think they could design their site, so it adjusts to whatever size monitor someone is looking from?
And if I could comment on that page, I would!
Very odd.... I saw 15 rows of 4 books..... on my iPad. I've read 25 of the 60 that I saw. I tried various ways to change display but nothing worked.
This is quite odd. I have no idea why you only see a number of books depending on the dimensions of your screen. Personally, I see 90 books, and I have a 15" laptop.I've read 22 of them, not many.
OK -- on my laptop screen I get 90 books (15 X 6). I've read 37.This is very bad design. It is actually cutting off the books in the rows.
I had to decrease the font of my laptop screen to 80% to see all of the titles, which of course meant that it was too small for my aging eyes to see.

They employ like a zillion IT people. Very strange. I wonder if there's a way I can export just the titles to post them here. Or maybe someone already retyped them into a Goodreads list. I will look!!
Of course, someone already copied it over. In October, so I guess this isn't new - - I just received a promotion about it now though.https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...
Here you can see ALL 100 books regardless of your screen. She says with false confident.

Whatever Amazon has done, it's a terrible design for it to cut off books, depending on the size of one's screen.
Ok, now that I can see them all, it looks like I've read 37/100. It also shows me some that didn't come over to GR with my export/import. Maybe I'll spend a bit of time updating that today...
I've read 37 for sure, one or more maybe. Some I've started and rejected, some I will never ever try to read because I don't like other books by the author.Both pages worked fine for me both here and at home, but I am not using a tablet or a smart phone.
Now that I can see the full list, I have read 34.
OK -- made my browser smaller. I've read 41...but have at least started 3 more on the list.
I read 34. 11 of them are already on my TBR list. 2 of them I quit. I was surprised at some of them. Thanks at the link Anita.
I am only at 23. I will need to work on this.

EDITED: Apparently this page doesn't work well at all. But Goodreads has a list too. Here it is:
