When I began reading the list, I didn't think I would have covered many books, but as I actually read through the list, I was surprised at how many I haven't read. I read 15 on the list. 15 of 100. And I consider myself a well-read person. I've heard of many on the list. I've seen the movie version of ALOT on the list.
Here is what I have read, in EW ratings:
2. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - JK Rowling
12. Blindness - Jose Saramago
13. Watchman - Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons
20. Bridget Jones' Diary - Helen Fielding
25. Joy Luck Club - Amy Tan
28. Naked - David Sedaris
34. The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
41. The House on Mango Street - Sandra Cisneros
48. The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver
50. The Corrections - Jonathan Franzen
65. The Giver - Lois Lowry
69. The Secret History - Donna Tartt (one of my favoritest books ever. I highly, highly recommend this).
78. Eat Pray Love - Elizabeth Gilbert
93. A Thousand Acres - Jane Smiley
96. The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
97. Jesus' Son - Denis Johnson
100 books. Some of them I have no desire to ever read. I have started a list though. Perhaps someday I will make to almost half the list.
Happy Reading Ya'll.
