How many of the 1001 books have you read? Showing 801-850 of 1,912

[Lesley]

Hello. I'm new to the group. I have only recently discovered this particular list and such a long list somewhat intrigues me. To date I have read only 23 from the 2006 list so quite some distance to travel....

[Anya]

26 so far... So many more good ones to go!
Chel, you are a fast reader!

[Kari]

I have finished 158 and I'm working on 3 more at the moment.

[Ian]

On the all-inclusive combined list, I have just notched up 250. I am feeling really pleased with myself for notching up this little landmark. So many good books read and yet so many more great experiences to come.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Nice, Ian.

[Arukiyomi]

Yeah, well done Ian. You're not far behind me.... just coming up on the 350.

[Kelsi]

I've only read 36 but I have about 20 at home to read, and am currently working on two.

Thanks, Arukiyomi. Your total is still way over the horizon for me (or two and a half years at current rate of knots)!

[Julie]

78 apparently.
Surprised to see so much Ian McEwan on there. I would have put most of them on my list of books NOT. To read!

[Arukiyomi]

actually Julie, there are only three books on the 2008/10 lists. 5 were removed in 2008 from the original 2006 edition. Then again, maybe even three would be too much!

[Rebecca]

41 for me. The number surprised me, though...I thought it would have been higher than that. Then again, it wasn't too long ago that I changed my attitude towards the classics for the better. =)

[Angela]

I've started almost one month ago; I've read 22 of the books -21 of them before I started with the list-. Problem is, there's other books out of the list that catch my attention and I also have to read them.
I'm on my 30's now, so I hope to make it some day. I like long-term goals. Anyway, you know the books I read 10 years ago? I don't really remember them. So I can read them again.

[Chris]

Well... I am at 209. And I can only quote W.G. Sebald to show how I have got there thus far.

[Valerie]

I just looked at the list and I am at 64. I have quite a ways to go!

[Pinar]

I am at 65 (all lists combined)!

[Ginny]

I am at 168. Getting mired in Proust...

[Elsa]

I have 187, but I swear I've read a few more (I was an english major in college).....

[Pauline]

61, but 3 of them were over 800 pages, yay!

[Deanne]

Reading Our Ancestors by Calvino, no 918 from the 2006 list.

Wow! You are amazing! Awesome job though my teenage girls think I can catch up- wishful thinking on their part when I'm only at 170... : )

[EShay]

I just finished number 50! It is not as much as many of you have read, but a good milestone all the same. Now on to 100...

[Amanda]

124 at last count, thanks to our handy app:).

[Becky]

Just hit 100! Woohoo!

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Congratulations! Milestones are well worth noting!

[Andrew]

Only 6. I really suck.

[Misty]

I have read only 27. :(

[Amy]

I'm up to my 35th. It's nice to have this list to choose books from though because I haven't been too disappointed in what I've read yet or given up!

[Katrina]

Currently reading my 108th, haven't read any for a while but it's time to start getting into them again.

I'm looking for a handy app. Where would I find it?

[Deborah Wells]

It appears that I've only read 58. I had better get a move on. :)

Thanks. Looks like I'm a day late and a dollar short. :(

[Lisa]

My personal bookshelf says I've read 110, but I know I've read more than that. Going to have to compare my read file & see which ones I may have missed marking as 1001 books....

[Deanne]

Lisa
I'd do it now before your list of books read and not marked gets so long it takes hours to sort.

[Danyellemastro]

Just cracked open number 102! Feels good to be in triple figures!

[Mikela]

196 for me. Only need 4 more to reach my goal for the year which isn't bad but still a far cry from Deanne's incredible accomplishment.

Dbolden, for someone as young as you are that is a terrific accomplishment. Congratulations!

[Bucket]

Just hit 97 with The Grass is Singing by Doris Lessing. Currently reading number 98 (Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey) and so yearning for that 100 mark!

[Alex “Alex Reads All”]

I believe I am now up to 44. Joined the group to make that a much larger number. =D

[Gemma]

I just finished Foucault's Pendulum which brings me to the mini mile stone of fifty (:

[Arukiyomi]

recently passed the 350 mark. Suddenly, getting halfway through is seeming a feasible reality.

[Kirsten]

I'm currently reading my 157th (The Lover by Duras). It's finally starting to feel like I have made a dent in the list!

[Katherine]

I just finished my 115th list book, but want to make it to 125 by the end of the year. We shall see!

[Colleen]

100 exactly on the 2006 list.

[Arukiyomi]

congrats Colleen!

[Denise]

I have completed 180 from all 3 lists while 147 of these were on the 2010 list.

[Kristine]

On my 333rd from the combined lists - I don't think I realized what I was getting myself into.

[Judith]

I'm on my 468th book. Hope to make it to the half way mark (of the combined list) next year.

[Juliana]

103 at least.

That's awesome, Judith!

[Karina]

I am on my 76th on the combined lists. I am in my twenties, so fingers crossed, I can achieve reading all books!
