angerball Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I've read 25 of them. One of these days, I have got to read Pride and Prejudice. It always seems to be at the top, or towards the top of every Top 100 book list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyB Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I find with a lot of these lists that I've read the authors mentioned but just different novels to the ones that appear on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aromaannie Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I've only read 1 and that's only because we had to read it in school for GCSE English Lit:blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrathofkublakhan Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I've read about 20. I kinda got lost and my eyes all wonky some where in the 80's on the list of 100. And I love feeling a little smug. Anne of Green Gables in that list is spelled Ann and anyone who's read that book knows it's with an 'e', because .... -------------- "Oh, I'm not ashamed of it," explained Anne, "only I like Cordelia better. I've always imagined that my name was Cordelia --at least, I always have of late years. When I was young I used to imagine it was Geraldine, but I like Cordelia better now. But if you call me Anne please call me Anne spelled with an e." What difference does that make how it's spelled?" asked Marilla with another rusty smile as she picked up the teapot. "Oh it makes such a difference. It looks so much nicer. When you hear a name pronounced can't you always see it in your mind, just as if it was printed out? I can; and A-n-n looks dreadful, but A-n-n-e looks so much more distinguished. If you'll only call me Anne spelled with an e I shall try to reconcile myself to not being called Cordelia. "Very well, then, Anne spelled with an e, can you tell us how this mistake came to be made? We sent word to Mrs. Spencer to bring us a boy. Were there no boys at the asylum? ----------- Fun book, I'm on page 101 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontalba Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I've read 18 of them, and started and discarded 7 others without finishing. Something else, I wonder how I, Claudius can be in the top 100 and not Claudius the God.... :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Child.of.God.1989 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Anne is such a sweet character! Remember Ms. Montgomery's description of her simply sitting in a room with the sun shining through the window - just smiling at nature? I almost don't want to read the sequels and ruin the magic of seeing her grow up in the first book. Being more of a listener, I'd love to meet someone as talkative as her. ...Eleven. *drinks a glass of milk to wash down humble pie* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I've read 32 of the 100. That's pretty good, right? There are a lot on there that I've been meaning to read, and some that don't seem to belong. I also think that The Lord of the Rings should be #1!!!

Kylie Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I've read 30 and I have most of the rest of them on my TBR pile. So hopefully I'll get that number up to at least 50 by the end of 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
