BTW, according to the BBC if you've read 7 of these, you are above the average. My comments are in parentheses.)

Hmmm... I made it. Barely (I read 9, but 2 were for school).

But really, I should find the French list : maybe I'd do better ;-)

::laughing:: Yeah, you probably would do better with the French list. Some of those shouldn't be on there -- DaVinci Code most immediately, but a few others -- because I don't see the point of including 'instant classics' i.e. current best sellers. oh, well!

At least, chances are the "Three Musketeers" would still be in ;-)

My brother told me when he read that one, he really didn't want to lose it, but only because it was a borrowed book, and he would not have wanted to replace it :-(

I read DaVinci Code to see what all the fuss was about... and I have no clue what all the fuss was about. I think it includes, literally, every cliffhanger type of chapter ending possible. Bar none.

Haven't read it, so neither do I.

Though a French lj-friend to me that the Notre-Dame "cathedrale" was overrun by even more tourists than usual after the book came out.
She said they too were searching for the key to the code ;-/

She was not amused.
