New List? Thanks Aileen.... I find I have read 146 of those (which like you, puts me in the top 27%), with 9 on my TBR and spotted another 5 I wouldn't mind reading.

I've managed 165 with a handful more on my TBR. Interesting to see that it's someone's list of books they personally want to read before they turn 80. Might have to do a list of my own as there are certainly some I'd like to read at sometime albeit not very soon, a few of them are on my TBR such as Crime and Punishment and a Franz Kafka. I'll have a think  |

I've read exactly a third of them it seems - 320 in total, which puts me in the top 2%... I think it's mainly down to having read quite a lot of the classics, including most of the French and German ones while at uni. An interesting idea to create your own bucket booklist, though to be honest I'm not sure I need any more pressure in regard to books to read before I die than is already exerted by my monstrous TBR pile  Even if I carry on at my current reading rate, I think I've got enough books now to last me nearly 10 years. Gulp!!! |

I've read 160. Loads more I own but haven't got round to yet. Love the total randomness of this list!

I have to hang my head in shame. I have read only 21 of these and 21 are on my TBR pile. I didn't even find out the percentage. |

Oh don't be ashamed Crys - most of the ones I've read off this list are the ones in series - Harry Potter, Diana Gaboldon, Ian Fleming, Narnia and so on - so that means I tick off several at a time |

That really annoys me .. why 995 ?? Couldn't they think of 5 more ?? I do like a round number 
Anyway, now I've had a look at the list ..
Read : 52 TBR : 118
Seen as Film or TV adaptation : 210 |

I have to admit, I thought that too. Surely even picking another 5 from the mentioned series' just to make up the number would have sufficed! |

Only read 85 9%but some of these I wouldn't want to read or started reading and didn't enjoy so stopped, some on my tbr. One I'm currently reading. I wouldn't pick some of these as must-read books myself. Some of my favourites are on there, The Historian, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, The All Souls Trilogy. Some I have recently heard of/ want to read
