A very impressive number, especially for a young person!

Hm, I think a lot of posts are missing today. There's a big gap from Sep 13 to Nov 28, and another gap from Nov 30 til today.
I know I posted about a couple weeks ago that I had just reached 200 List books ( I'm now at 201).

Yeah, that's odd. I haven't posted on this thread for awhile, but I've been reading the posts and I know that there were more posts than there are currently showing.

Hit 500 this year with Antic Hay. Still not halfway though as I'm doing all editions but it's a great feeling to reach that number. Here's to 2017!

Congratulations! That is a landmark that I have had in my sights for a while now. I'm at 496 across all editions, so the champagne will soon be flowing!

Cool! I got to 500 late this year too, although I see my post has been lost in the mysterious disappearance that George posted about above :)

I know I will not read all the books from all the editions, even if time is not a factor, because some are virtually unobtainable (huge prices for used copies). So I'm aiming for 1001 books from the lists, and from that point of view I'm half way :)

Well done Rosemary! You are streets ahead of me with only just over the hundred x

[Diane]

Arukiyomi, Ian, & Rosemary,

I'm at 230 from the combined list. I've just completed my reading plan for 2017 and if I follow it correctly then The Grapes of Wrath will be my 250th...seems a worthy milestone book!

[Karen]

Starting 2017 having completed 250 novels from the combined list.
The 250th was Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.

[Shelley]

All right, I feel inspired again. I am only at 122 but I am going to get back on track and knock a few of these out at the start of this new year.

[Kirsten]

Wow! I feel like such a dilettante!

[Tasha]

Bob, that's awesome!

[Kristine]

445 of the complete list and still passionate about finishing it!

[Lindsay]

I've completed 158 of the combined list.

Just finished 'In Watermelon Sugar' by Richard Brautigan. It was part of an omnibus volume by the author, and I had never even heard of him before I saw him on the list. But I really loved the story & read the whole volume, which included another book & lots of poetry. Hoping to read more of his work in the future. That's my favorite part of reading through the list - when I discover a gem that I'm pretty certain I would never ever have read otherwise!

[Kirsten]

I'm up to 59.

[Kim]

Hello. I am currently at 0 and about to begin. Well, actually I've read 5-6 already but I feel like pretending I'm at 0 so I can re-read them again.

[Ed]

I haven't updated since the last of the 2016...and I did a recount that boosted my total by 6. Since January 1, I read:
1. Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
2. If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino
3. Flaubert's Parrot by Julian Barnes
4. Roxana by Daniel Defoe
5. The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

After finishingThe Tin Flute, I'm up to 161

[Dree]

Finished my 175th today. I have been in a major reading slump this month, I was hoping to make it to 200 this year, but I need to get out of this slump!

[Winter]

Finished my 61th. Yesterdqy. Right now I'm closing in The Sound of Waves which is lovely. Also started Mansfield Park and Solaris. I love how the list makes me discover so many new things.

[Ed]

I hit #200.... since my last check-in I have read:
-Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
-The Book of Evidence by John Banville
-Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens
-The Passion by Jeanette Winterson
-.The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
-Life and Times of Michael K by J.M. Coetzee
- The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks

All good reads.... with The Curious Incident being the biggest surprise.... and The Wasp Factory being my least favorite...I'm not a horror fan.

Welcome to the 200 club Ed. I've no doubt you'll reach 300 before I do.

72 I think. I still have a long, long, long way to go!

Absolutely!

[Natalie]

I recently finished #35 , The End Of Innocence by Edith Wharton . I'm using the list for encouragement about tackling the Classics . I think I will hold off on most of the newer books on the list for a few more years to see how they hold up as they age . A book's reputation can change as the immediate years pass .

[Irem]

In my first 37 years I managed 73. Seems I need several lives.

[Laurie]

I just finished my 150th book from the combined list.
