How many of the 1001 books have you read? Showing 1,301-1,350 of 1,912

[Tyler]

I finished this past year at 142 total off of the combined lists. Looking to get my total up to 180 by the end of 2016.

[Ann A]

I read 15 off the combined list in 2015 for a total of 160. Hope to knock off at least another 20 in 2016.

[[deleted user]]

I've read 68 off the most recent combined list. Hoping to up that number in 2016.

[Becky]

207 - I seem to have purchased several books on the list this past year but did not follow through with reading them. Too many new books to enjoy!

[Olivia]

I've read 67 so far. I need to work on that in 2016.

[Jennifer]

252 - I plan on reading another 40 this year.

[Kirsten]

Wow, Kirin, great job!

[George P.]

Kirin, I'm about even with you with 167. Want to see who gets to 200 first? Just kidding- take your time☺️

[Chris]

Hit a milestone today. Just finished number 450. Hoping to read number 500 by the end of 2016. Half way. Never thought It would be in my grasp.

[Ed]

I'm at 140- having just read David Malouf's "Remembering Babylon"...which I did not like at all. It was on the 2006 list and deservedly taken off the 2008 list.

[Ed]

And just finished George Sand's "The Devil's Pool" bringing me to 141.

[Craig]

At 356 ending the year.
Top 10:
Sound and the Fury
The Labyrinth of Solitude
The Castle
Journey to the End of the Night
Tropic of Capricorn
Demons
Gormenghast
Titus Groan
Of Human Bondage
Portrait of a Lady

Haha. According to the app, I'll be done when I'm 82. Fingers crossed I live at least that long. I've read 59 so far.

[George P.]

It's only 25 a year for 40 years, so quite possible but not easy, and better to get an early start.

[Rosie]

I bought the book with my Christmas Amazon vouchers. I started off at 56 (yet to make a decision on whether to reread them, I will probably end up rereading the ones I don't remember so well). I finished Crime and Punishment a couple of days ago and I'm now half way through 2001: A Space Odyssey, so I am soon to be on 58!

[Kirsten]

Just finished my 46th book on the list (and the 1st of 2016):

Money: A Suicide Note by Martin Amis

[Lynecia]

I'm still hovering about 50, but i have 20 that I "plan" to read this year. Those 20 are all on my shelf so I figured I'd get those out of the way first!

[Katherine]

I just finished my 190th book. It looks like a lot of us will reach 200 this year!

Katherine, 100 would be impressive for someone your age, 200 is amazing. You really have a good chance of reaching 1001!

I've got a few that I'd like to reread as well, but it's hard to pick between that and reading new titles.

[Kirsten]

Have already finished the second of the year, Martin Eden by Jack London for a total of 51.

Thanks George! This is pretty much my hobby, so while my husband watches football, I get to chip away at the list. It works out well for everyone!

[Meg]

I've read 103 of the combined list so far - passed 100 without even realising it (and coincidentally it was a biggie - 'Anna Karenina'!)! Onwards and upwards!

[Jody]

I've only read 63 so far, but I'm hoping to hit the 100 mark by the end of the year.

[Ashley M]

I've only got 16 under my belt. but I'm going to give this list my heart like a bucket list challenge.

[Jason]

71. Just updated

[Davina]

Only 23, so far. Still ploughing on through :-)

[George P.]

Davina wrote: "Only 23, so far. Still ploughing on through :-)" That's a start- you're still young. If you read one a month for 20 yrs that's 240 + the 23 you have already, and you'll still be younger than I am now ;-)

[Ginny]

493 as of today. I don't have a life.

[Aileen]

I made my first milestone today by finishing #100.

Congrats! I will count 50 as a milestone lol - in two books!

How many have you finished? I'm curious because you pop in on my ipod in the finished thread every other day almost ^^

[Triciasteffen]

I've finished 69.... Slow but sure..

[J]

Reading lists are stupid.

[Shereen]

32. I haven't fully dedicated my reading to this list yet but that is my plan for when I finish University.

Currently sitting at 255. I've been reading seriously off the list for about a year. Although I read a lot of other books as well. Probably about 60% non list, maybe a bit more.

It slows down my numbers a bit but I like a very wide range and I'm studying a fair amount as well. The list selection can get a little heavy.

Haha! Hilarious!

This is definitely not the right group for you my friend :-)

I also like some variation, I read non-list too. I love the list though! Do you think you will reach 300 this year?

I'm currently at 48. I have a pile ready to go this year though ^^

Yes, baring some terrible crippling accident I definitely will. This year (sorry, last year!) I wanted to read 89 books from the list (100 but I had Dance to the Music of Time down as 12 rather than 1) and I tallied everything up and after re-reads and so on, my total for the year was 101 new books read from the list.

I'm aiming for another 100 this year with 10 allowed for re-reads and multiple books (I'm going to read The Forstyth Saga for example which is 3 books). So I want to take off another 90 new books from the list.

[Ellinor]

I've read 304 books from the combined list which leaves me with exactly 1001 books left. Feels like I'm starting all over again!

Lol! Funny. And congratulations. :)

[Winter]

Lol I haven't thought of that:P also reading it..

[Jenny]

Are there really people who only read list books? I'm on 39 and from my average of 60-70 books a year, only 10-ish are likely to be list books. The list is just a good reference for picking the next book to read.

[Winter]

I hope to read 52 list books this year. My goal is 105 that gives me some leverage.

[George P.]

The New York Trilogy finished today made 175 I've read that were in the original 1001 List-book. I've also read 2 that were in later lists but not in the original. Just did the math and in the last few years, 60% of my books were Listed, as I've been making an effort to read more of those. Hope to reach 200 in about a year.

[Nancy]

74 and counting! (but that's in a lifetime!)

As of last night, I've read 70.
