100 classic novels

According to the 'Modern Library' anyway... I started last year to try to read, in my lifetime, this list of 100 classic novels. I have heard so many people rant and rave about some of these books, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I find that so many people don't have an opinion for...

Less than 10%

Since Ben had remarks regarding the 1001 Books to read before you die, I thought I'd add my list. It is clear to me that not having read any Dickens or Austen or Joyce has really hurt my numbers. However, I make up a little bit my reading all of the Irving and Winterson and Vonnegut. The ones I...

I read a lot, but sadly I guess I don't read enough of the classics. I was in Borders yesterday and realized I haven't read a lot of what high schools today consider "required reading." I have, however, read the Rock's autobiography, so I am well rounded in other ways. I at least did better than...

In 2003, the nation's favourite 100 books were documented. I hoped to have read quite a few/ the majority of them. I was disappointed, if I'm honest.

For a girl with a degree in English that's shocking; I guess for a 9-months pregnant girl it's believeable. But interestingly enough I found the survey below, and I thought...
