Note
-I tried to read Pride and Prejudice a few times but never made it past to page 10 or so.
-Of Mice & Men, one of the saddest books I’ve read.
-After reading The Handmaid’s Tale I refuse to read any more of Atwood’s books.
-Why is Life of Pi on there? It’s a good book but not THAT great of a book IMO.
-I have yet to read any of the Harry Potter books or watched any of the movies.

Ooooh what a fun meme! Here are all the ones I have read.
What a great booklist. Crime & Punishment, and Brave New World are two of my favourite books.
I think there’s 36 there!
i think im come around 25, i counted twice.
The whole Harry Potter Series only counts as 1?
But the first book of the Chronicles of Narnia gets it’s own item and so does the whole series?
33. Chronicles of Narnia – CS Lewis
36. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
BTW, I’ve at a quick glance I’ve read 26, I’ll post my whole thing later… (HopefullY).
a measley 22??? you need to stay off those mountains and go to the library! lol.
I’ve read 84 of them.
Gah.
I guess I know what I’m doing for the next 3 weeks.
I like how “complete works of Shakespeare” is worth only one of them.
