  2. The great thing, upon reading over the list, is that I realized I needed to just count the books that I had NOT read, which cam to 16, so I've read 84. However, I cheated a little, because I counted Ulysses even though I didn't finish the entire book. :+0
    Fun to realize how many great books I've already read, but there are many many more to look forward to.

  5. LOL lists like this bug me. I've read 17 of them. Which isn't many. But I've read soooo many books in my life so far. They just don't make many of these lists. :-)

    1. I have read many books that are not on this list too. But it does bring to light some books that I wanted to read years ago and forgot about.
