19!!! hahaha, Im well happy with that, I honestly thought it would be diabolically low. I can thank my Charles Dickens obsession for that. 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.

16 years, 10 months ago at Jul 11 1:25 - Oh, I saw this a while back on LJ. The one I saw had a bit more rules to it

Hmmm. Only 17. I'm slacking. 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.

16 years, 10 months ago at Jul 11 12:04 - That's not the same as the Big Read top 100 list that I found on the BBC's site.
[Link removed - login to see]
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.

16 years, 10 months ago at Jul 12 11:24 - 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?

I think that's 16. Way more then I was expecting. I actually purchased a lot of those today too.
But on the other list only 14... Well that gives me something to do!
I did try and read the bible (out of curiosity) years ago but never made it past the first page. I've tried a couple of others on the list but wasn't interested

I've read 41 of them. Seems a bit of an odd list really. Would anyone choose to read all these books (English students aside)? And why are Hamlet and The Complete Works... listed separately?
