I have read 25. I own several more that are on my list to read. One I refuse to read is Lord of the Rings--JRR Tolkein, I have tried and I hate it! I also really didn't like Confederacy of Dunces. I am also interested in a few missing classics like Anne of Green Gables. I have read several of the authors but not the books listed. Kind of a fun list.
36. Gotta get cracking!
I have now read Lovely Bones and I forgot that I did read Little Women. 40 down, 60 to go!
