I've read 22 of them, with possibly another 20 on the tbr, and the intention to read most of the others due to them being on the 1001 Books list. If not for that list I probably wouldn't ever have considered most of them, but have to say I've enjoyed most of what I've read.
I've rediscovered my love of classics, and the list does seem biased towards them, so a non-classics reader would probably not find it very interesting or appealing. These lists are all very subjective though, some you'll agree with and others you won't! The 1001 Books list does go right up to the present time with each new edition though, so has a better mixture. |

I've read 13 of them, tried and gave up on a further 4 and have another 3 on my TBR.
As Aileen says, a lot of them are also on other lists like the 1001 and also I remember the BBC doing a Top 100 books and some were on there. My sister and I read quite a few on the BBC list as it was a bit more "mainstream". I will see if I can find the list and post it in this section.

Gosh, that is a classics-heavy list, isn't it?! Which is not to say there aren't some extremely good and accessible reads on there - I've read 43 of them and would say I'd thoroughly enjoyed at least 37 of those, and there are at least another half-dozen there that I've been meaning to read for a while now.

An interesting list ..
Read = 10
TBR = 18 (some from Amazon Kindle download for FREE)
Film / TV adaptation watched = 39
Just thought I'd throw that final stat in there
