I've been meaning to do this for week or so, but finally found a bit of time. It's swiped from cloverdew regarding the The Big Read's supposition that the average adult has only read six of the top 100 books on their list ( Read more... )

I'm in my mid-forties, so I've had lots of time.

Wow, I'm jealous. I wish my house had that many good books in when I was younger!

59 The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Mark Haddon I liked this although I found it a little odd at first. If you can get it from a library, it is worth a look, btw. I've got another by him 'A Spot of Bother' on my to-read list atm.

I love the titles of his books, that's why I've wanted to read them. I'll give this a try during this weekend's long car trip.

Impressive! I can't remember how many I had now, but I think it was 50? I need to get caught up on more, clearly.

I've only read about a dozen of those in the last decade, not counting re-reads of favorites. I seem to be in a mystery-suspense and non-fiction phase lately.

hey, has anyone been on www.pollthepeople.com ???
you enter your top 5 books and compare them with others', compiling a definitive global list of top books.
amongst a very ecclectic list of the top books of all time, Audrey niffenegger ranks highly - good to see something other than Harry Potter! -you should def read The Time Traveller's Wife if you get a chance, prob one of my favourite books!
i'm working for the site this summer and i just got niffenegger's top five books which will be on the site soon so check up in a day or two!
