Being Curious, How well read are you?

I smiled when I read that sueisallaboutquilts wrote that she rereads books. I do that a lot. My son also does it. Do any of you read the last chapter first. I'm always doing that especially with mysteries...I want to know 'whodunit' before I read the book. I seem to enjoy the story more and appreciate the plot's little twists and turns. My siblings, children and husband think I'm crazy to do it. It is what it is....it's just the way I am.

21, here, I read all the time, but since college I only read for pleasure. Give me Janet Evonovich anytime. Cheers me right up. I read almost all of Steven Kings' twice. I read all of Twilight series. All Of Harry potter. I am also a big fan of Norah Roberts. So yes I am well read not in the litrerary sense I guess. But am awesome at words games because I read a lot.

Only 23. I am surprised to see Shadow of the Wind in there. I think the no. can really vary depending on your taste in reads. Good question, thanks for posting. I'll share this with my book club.

Hi Guys,
I have read many of the books on that list.... but I have to say that after reading War and Peace I can understand the "Is it a work of art of just rubbish" debate - LOL LOL!
I have read hundreds of books and some of the really excellent ones do not appear on that list, although I have to say that the Colour Purple is sitting in my bedside waiting for me to start it this week!
I love reading and have taught all my children to love it too! I love making the pictures in my mind!
Hugs
Caroline

I've read all but six and those are the ones I started reading and lost interest in. There are many great classics left off this list but on other top 100 lists. "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair, "The Good Earth" by Pearl Buck are missing and "The Egg and I" by Bettye McDonald should be on all the lists. I started Moby Dick many times but never got passed the fifth chapter.
Right now I'm reading "Nick in Time" by Ted Bell. It's great to read to your child at night a chapter at a time. The story will keep you interested as much as the child.

I've read only 16 on that list...but on average I read at least 10 books a month. When I was in school I generally read 10 books a week, as that was how many I could check out at one time!
I'm currently re-reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy (that has 6 books in it? LOL). Maybe I'll print out the list & start working on the rest of these "classics"....
