So I found this the other day and thought," I don't think I've read most of these, and I love to read." So I'm going to be working my through the books that I have no yet read.
I have put the titles I have read in bold print. And if you count those up I've only read 15 outta those 100 !!! So my mom and I talked about doing our own book club to work through these books and our first book will be #76 The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. So when I begin reading it I will be posting about it and what I think about it. Happy Reading !!!

ReplyDeleteYou doubled up on two, chronicles of Narnia and the lion the witch and the wardrobe, it's in the chronicles. And complete works of shakespeare and hamlet, it's in the complete works. So it's really short two. It's great list.
ReplyDeleteGood List. Read many in H.S., a s a personal challenge to read, “The Top 100 Books for College Prep,” and going to start this list. Surprised not to see any by Hemingway though. Also, anyone know the name of the woman who more recently translated, “Anna Karenina.” Supposed to be quite a different translation, but I lost the paper I had written her name on.
ReplyDeleteThanks for including the Bible.
ReplyDeleteNot a science fiction fan?
I've just watched the equaliser and at the end you see a boom he is reading "the invisible Man" which is not on this list which should be on the list as it's in the movie.
ReplyDeleteSorry meant to say book not boom.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to starting on this list but it is more than 100 books. It’s at least 106 as there is at least 7 HP books. Still a great list.
ReplyDeleteAs an English Lit graduate and teacher, I must say that a book like Ulysses is a very difficult book, although regarded as one of the classic novels in literary canon. If you have concentration problems like I did, just leave it to the end or pass it. We can also add other books, like Old man and the sea, the Tale of Two cities, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Harry Potter, Earthsea...
