The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well, let's see ( Read more... )

Wow, you've read an impressive amount of those. I've read a fair amount of them (fewer than you) and I have to say there aren't any that I can say "Oh, my I loved that book." with the exception of Pride and Prejudice.

Oops! I forgot that part. There are a very few I did love. I should go back and do that!

Oh, now that I review that list I can't believe I passed over Harry Potter like it wasn't there - I did really enjoy that and I also like the Lord of the Rings but I should re-read it cause I was pretty young and didn't get all of it when I did read it.

Lol! Yeah, there were a few fabulous ones in there. Not very many. Out of 46, I think I underlined 7. Lol!

LotR is fabulous - the movies sort of ruined a few things for me. The entire character of Faramir, for example, as well as the victory of man over orc at Helm's Deep. In the books, the elves didn't come. The men held on until their OWN people could rejoin them - Eomund, Eowyn's brother, and the rest of the best fighters they had, whom Aragorn ran into as he was searching for the hobbits.......

Well, you didn't want a disertation (though clearly I have a rant in me, just WAITING to come out). Lol! But yeah - I read those for the first time when I was 13, and I read them again almost every other year, just to be sure I remember it all. Lol!

Okay, I didn't catch any of that in the movies mostly cause it's been years since I read them. I better add them back to my to-read list.
