I’ve read 13 I’m on 16 so hopefully that isn’t as pathetic as I think it is. I do plan to read quite a bit of the list, mostly Dickens (never read a Dickens!!) but at the moment I’m staying away from classics because they take me ages to read. And I refuse to read the Curious Incident… as I bought it years ago and promptly lost it before even opening it so now I refuse to pay for a book twice no matter how good it is. Read most of the Bible but I refuse to read Revelations (it scares me lol). Glad Time Travellers Wife is on there I just read it and it is fantastic, personally I would like to see How To Talk To Widower by Jonathon Trooper on there because I found that a really good book of loss and acceptance.
Good list though.

Lots of books there that I should really read. My total is around about the 30 mark. More than I expected, as I'm not very well read, but thanks to the likes of the Faraway Tree, Alice in Wonderland, the Chronicles of Narnia (twice..lol) and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory being in there, my total is not that bad. I'd be curious as to how many of that 100 have not been adapted into either films, TV series or theatrical productions. I suspect not many. Tam's last post: Guest Blog – Majik’s Thoughts

I scrolled through the list quickly and have read 50 of the books listed – some of the books on the list I started and discarded as badly written and/or boring (The DaVinci Code? – dreck) . You will love “The Lovely Bones” by Alice Sebold – it is so well written. I didn’t start reading Dickens until I was in my 20’s – “Great Expectations” was a page turner for me. And I am ashamed to say I have not yet read “To Kill A Mockingbird” but it is on my bedside table -

At last… a validation of taking a literature degree! LOL

Oh Sharpest One, I owe you!

…especially as you’ve given me today’s post for my own blog, so no reason to switch the poor brain on today. Yay!

I could have sworn I'd done this but I can't find it anywhere. An excellent way to spend the time I should be doing other things! A.'s last post: PhotoHunter: support
