I am quite ashamed to admit that I have probably read under a quater of these books..will steal and post on my journal and do it properly but it will definately be under a quarter of them :( so I will attempt to read more of them :D
However The Lord of the Rings is amazing and my books are falling apart I have read them so many times :P as are my Harry Potter series and Jane Eyre XD

i think 'under a quarter' is okay. :) i'm pretty sure i've read somewhere that the average is six.

i have to admit i sort of struggled through lotr. i want to like it, i really do, but it's just soooo slow. but yeah, my hp books have been read a lot, too. lol.

Oh and by the way I love your icon on this post! It really made me giggle considering I am suffering through Shakespeare at the moment. :P

Ooo.. I like this list! Will do this on my journal soon. Although I must say, I have some of the books listed above, but I have yet to read them. :\ Or read them halfway and stopped and got too lazy to pick it up again.

But I've definitely read more than six! :) And I really need to buy new copies for the first four books of HP.

yes, please. :) i love seeing other people's lists.

i have a lot of them as well, and just never got around to reading them. (narnia has been on my bedside table for about two months now. i feel pretty awful about that.)
