Yes I saw The Fountainhead, but I must have overlooked Atlas Shrugged because surely it is near the top and I just missed it!Originally Posted by Dark Muse

I've only read 28 of these. I would have thought I'd read more. Well...back to the library.
I've read the top ten books on that list. I must have a good taste in literature lol
If I counted correctly, I've only read 26 from the list. Isn't it ironic that doing an English Literature degree means you have no time to read...Ah well lots of reading to do after my exams!
I've only read 24 of these
Ayn Rand in the top 100?
I would suspect she wouldn't be in the top 1000 list of sophisticated readers.
I definitly have alot of reading to do! Only 17 out of the hundred *tsk tsk*. Thanks Dark Muse!
Even though my username is Dostoyevsky I think Catcher in the Rye should be #1 ahead of C&P. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and House of Leaves should also be on that list.
I've read 34, not too bad but I'd like to be up to 50 by Summer's end.
42, but some were read years back and completely forgotten.

Exit, pursued by a bear.
Only . . 12? Well, an even dozen, then. Hopefully more later, though! I have a few on my shelf.
And I wonder about Diary of Anne Frank? Did no one nominate that, or does it count as a "book"?
A bit that I wrote: Vanilla Ice Cream. Comments and critique welcomed! :-)
It's funny how people don't realise that these aren't the top 100 best books of all-time, but the TOP 100 FAVOURITE BOOKS OF THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR THIS VERY SAME LIST! IS THAT CLEAR?! There are no 100 best books of all-time. There isn't even ONE book everyone in the world take as their favourite!!!!! So which is the best: "The Brothers Karamazov", "War and Peace", "D. Quixote", "The Bible", Shakespeare's works? You don't know! You just know the one you like the best, so you should respect the other opinions, even if they come from people who aren't as intelligent or educated as you. Unfortunately, not everyone is like that, but they also deserve to read, I think. I am also sad not to see "David Copperfield" on the list, but what can I do? I'm not going to die because of it, anyway, and I know how much I like that one book. I won't even think about this anymore after I post this stupid message!

Oh Amen!
Oh! How you,guys,love to make lists! As for me, C&P is too popular, you know what I mean, although it is amazing book. 1984 is just good, not for 2nd place.
No, what do you mean? Too popular? Are we having the Oprah's Book Club discussion again??
