I think people randomly add to this list whenever they send it around.

really? only six? sounds like the average adult is missing out.

Ou I've read 10 of them. Better than I thought, though still not fantastic. There's far more important books than a handful of ones listed there though.
Am I the only one who appreciates the beauty of the bible being listed in that gigantic list of fiction? hahaha

If you added non-fiction to that list I'd say Origin of Species, A Brief History of Time, and Cosmos are all essential, historically significant reads. (then I could bump my number up to 13!)

23 for me too! I'll have to read the rest, though...
