Is it just me or dothe people who made that list have very narrow interests. Also, what's with the listing a whole series as a book and then listing one or two books from that series individually?
I'm presuming it's working on sales figures and the top 100 of what has made the most amounts of dosh. However in that case.. the ones that are listed as series are cheating...
yeah it doesn't make a huge amount of sense.. like listening the complete works of Shakespeare and then Hamlet further down..
I managed about 10 and half of those were from reading at school at various times. Of course that's counting the Chronicles of Narnia and The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe as 2 not being one and the same. Individual books vs collected works in the same list is wrong.
Should probably read more, though most of books I read probably won't make any top 100 lists.
You've done heaps better than me, though D: LOL! And that's it - half of these books don't interest me AT ALL. I prefer teen/romance novels than to the supposed 'classics'. Although I love To Kill A Mockingbird - that's such a good book :)
I'm really glad to hear that you've read The Faraway Tree series! I grew up reading those, and heaps of other Enid Blyton books. I love them :D I'd probably still read them now haha. I want to slide on the slippery-slip and eat pop biscuits! :'( haha
LOL well I can think of 10 books on my shelf which i've read that aren't on this list.. and I can think of 3 more I have lined up to read ^^;; so really this thing is a horrible judge..
and I remember The Faraway Tree series very little but I do remember that our teacher at school read them to us ^^
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupery
The first I read in college prep english, and I literally devoured the whole thing. Got an A on my paper. The second I picked up on a whim for vacation reading, expecting it to take me the whole week of vacation, and it took me two days to finish. The lesson in it is amazing. The third is more of a children's novel like Narnia, but more modern. It has pictures and everything. I once knew this guy who had the illustrations from the book tattooed on his arms. He was pretty hot. That is how I ended up reading the book, and then I stole it from my school because I loved it so much. He had nothing to do with it afterward, lol!
