Only 26 for me although I have read about a bazillion books that are NOT on this list. My favorite author is Stephen King, and while thoroughly entertaining, I doubt he would ever make a list of "important" fiction. I do believe his book "The Stand" deserves a spot on the list!
Currently I am reading, "How Do You Defend Those People?" by Mickey Sherman and I have 5 other books waiting in my Kindle: "Little Bee", "The Road", "Master Your Metabolism", "Cosa Nostra: A History of the Sicilian Mafia", and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies".....Yes, you read that right. No need to do a double take. You should see the cover on that one!
I usually read two books at a time one being fiction and the other non-fiction. I love the Kindle because I can take all my books with me when I travel or have to sit and wait somewhere.
