Book list challenge on Facebook

[Sammiejane]

Sounds good.
I scored 21 - at least 6 of these were read at school as part of English over the years at high school (catcher in the rye, of mice and men, Animal farm and 2 of the shakespears) so that has boosted my number.
There were a few that i had seen the movie to, but not the book, but generally i try and read the book before seeing the movie so i know which is better iykwim...

Yeah i think that i will skip the bible too - not really something that should be on the list in a challange that is open on a world wide platform... although i note that it was orginally a BBC article started as this

The BBC believes the majority of people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here

[Nai]

I got 58 There are still a lot in there that I want to read so maybe I will do that as my New Years Resolution

[meow]

I got 26... a few I have started and didn't enjoy so I'll never read those. And I don't think I'll ever read all the bible.

[Astrolady]

Yes I have seen the movies to quite a few as well, and like most of you the ones I have read are thanks to English lessons LOL. I did however read "The curious incident of the dog in the night time" as part of the BellyBelly book club some moons ago

I read Pride and Prejudice last week, which I have to say I found hard going with all the "proper" English LOL. I am currently reading "The Woman in White" as an e-book and it has heaps of interesting twists and turns in it so it is keeping me glued to the monitor

What a fab idea!
I think I may join you May take me all year to get through 3 books at my current reading rate

I did the survey thing and got 30-something, so not too bad, but there are several there I *should* have read, and a few I have started and put down (I will NEVER finish Moby **** before shooting myself).

[CinderToriella]

I just did it , i scored 16 I am in and most of them are books i have always wanted to read..Hmm war and peace is huge lol! I dont know if i can do that one

[Sterla]

I only got 15 - plenty of reading to do! What a great idea .

[Astrolady]

LMAO Lime. I think I'll be the same when it comes to Moby ****. Even the movie annoyed me. Glad to see a few are going to join in. Like I said it is just at your own leisure, read whatever you want from the 100 when you want.

I scored 38, did it a while ago. There are loads of books on there that I've wanted to read for ages.

[Fleur]

I got 58 There are still a lot in there that I want to read so maybe I will do that as my New Years Resolution

Wow Nai, 58 is awesome!

I wonder if anyone has read the whole 100.....

[ezymay]

Just did the quiz... I've read 28 there are quite a few on there I have sitting on my bookshelf that I have never read...Anna Karenina is one I've tried to start a few times!! I'll def try to give more on the list a go!!

[*Ang*]

I scored 31, a lot were read in my childhood too and in Eng Lit classes in highschool!

...Anna Karenina is one I've tried to start a few times!!

Me too! and I just cant seem to get my head around it!

[Astrolady]

Well the Woman in White in which I am currently reading is 800 pages long !! I have just gone past half way. LOL. I don't think I have EVER read a book with so many pages hahahaha.

[Muffy]

no no jk... but i dont think anyone would have believed me if i said 100 hahaha.

TBH.. i havnt even looked at the list lol

[MummaSue]

Anna Karenina is an AWESOME book - it did take me a few attempts too though

Life of Pi has to be THE best book I've ever read. It blew me away.

[misty]

I was happy with my score on that booklist - it was in the 70's from memory. To be fair - ALOT of the books on that list were absolutely crappy reads (classic literature or not: I mean Wuthering Heights just plain sucked). Alot of them I could attribut to high school english - I used to read the perscribed novels overnight, so my teachers took to assigning me a list of different novels to read while everyone else was catching up. (And then when I had read ALL the books in the school library I was allowed to bring in my own from home I think my english teachers sometimes ran out of things to do with me, and I drove them a bit nuts).

Much rather read sci-fi fantasy anyday.

Should I put names in the first post of who definitely wants in? Then we can all check in with each other to see how we are going?

So who is definitely in?
