I just took the "quiz" for the Great American Read, and I've only read 40 out of the 100 books. I feel so un-read! (Then the quiz scolded me and said I had some work to do, or something like that! :( )

Seizure Romero Pssht. I've only read 20 or so from that list. Then again, any list that includes The DaVinci Code, 50 Shades of Grey, and Twilight is not a reading list Ima take seriously. It claims to be "America’s 100 best-loved novels (as chosen in a national survey)" of "[a]pproximately 7,200 people."

You're just not reading the same books as everyone else. Ain't nuthin' wrong with that.

Yeah, when I saw those same books that you mentioned, I started to have questions about this list.

Tiffany And thanks to your comment, Seizure, I'm giving myself permission to watch the launch show on PBS but *not* try to read all of the books and vote! :D

Tiffany It's still a great idea, though, trying to get people to read, and read some of the same books and discuss why they're "great" or "best-loved."
