RB6K Rank : 36	Posted : 1 year, 4 months ago at Jul 10 20:14 - I stole this from another site, which have you read?

But on average I think you're right, I know my family would have read less than 5 and my next door neighbour has only ever read half of 'BFG'...so the stat is probably dead on.

The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien 4. Harry Potter series - JK Rowling 5. To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee 6. The Bible 8. Nineteen Eighty Four - George Orwell 9.

There's a bunch though that I've partially/mostly read though but I'm not counting those. And others I've just stuck to the film adaptations because I'm lazy :P EDIT: Any reason why The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe counts separately from The Chronicles of Narnia? @_@ Personally my favorites from the list are His Dark Materials and The Little Prince, so I'd recommend those.

Richard A. Booth Rank : 7602	Posted : 1 year, 4 months ago at Jul 11 7:04 - That's not the same as the Big Read top 100 list that I found on the BBC's site. http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/top100.shtml Using that list, I've read: 9. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe 25. The Hobbit 30. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland 35. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 36. Treasure Island 46. Animal Farm 53. The Stand 56. The BFG Plus one or two I can't remember if I've read or not, and a few I own (or did own), but just haven't got round to reading yet. The list is pretty diverse, though, so it's not really surprising if the average adult has only read a handful. At least half of them wouldn't even be of interest to me.

The Bible (All my life and better than any movie adaptation I've ever seen although The Passion of the Christ came close...Just my humble opinion). 4. The Hobbit (after reading The Lord of the Rings trilogy). 5. The Chronicles of Narnia Series (Actually I listened to the audio books...does that count?). Again the movie sold me. 6. Moby Dick (Actually I think I read this in a comic book format along with War of the Worlds when I was in grade school....does that count?). 7. Ulysses (Read it once in high school only because it's my first name. I don't remember any of the story except the part when he confronts a cyclops). 8. Hamlet (Read it for english lit. in high school but didn't understand it until I saw a movie adaptation of it some years later). Yup. I'm just your average guy...nothing to see here.

RB6K Rank : 36	Posted : 1 year, 4 months ago at Jul 12 6:24 - The trouble with a lot of them on the list, is that i have seen them in film form. I dont like reading things i have already seen, i prefer to see a new story unfold instead of recapping on the old (with the exception of 1 or 2 series') I should really crack on through that list though! I am not sure why its different from the BBC one, i stole it from somebodies live journal so perhaps its not the BBC one but another countries or something? I've no idea! Still if people would prefer to go from the other list il count up my tally on there. Only seen 7 on there, i think thats because Harry Potter is split into 3 on it, and iv read 2 of them. So 1 more than the other list because 1 is split into 2. From the looks of the list most of the books are actually the same, there are 1 or 2 kids books on there, so mayhap all the kiddie ones were removed from the list i had and replaced with adult ones?
