Read, unfinished, hated (I don't do much hating, but the second and third groups meld). Note some series as series, and Banks. 145 titles; 24 read, mostly between the ages of 18 and 25.

Kobo Abe, The Face of Another (1964)
Louisa May Alcott, Little Women (1868)

Oh, dear. Only read 7 of these. And seen 8 as films / TV series.

It seems a more arbitrary category than the others, though.

So I'm up to 28 from this list. Were we counting movie versions? that's a whole different thing I would think.
