I really haven’t read many books! I’ve read Pilgrim’s Progress and The Hounds of the Baskervilles, and seen movies of others. I’m 70% through Nineteen Eighty-Four now. Makes one appreciate freedom.
Great reading everyone!

Just to add my two cents’ worth: My reading is way down for this list, too. I have read “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” because I liked the movie, and The Pilgrim’s Progress. I also have watched movies of a few, the most recent on this list being The Life of Pi.

I am always impressed by the amount of reading you have done, Darlene. My reading has leaned more to children’s books and YA, probably because that is where my interest lies in writing books. You make me interested in reading more of these novels, so thanks! 🙂

I myself am surprised at how many books I actually have read when I see these lists. I read children’s books and YA as well, since that’s what I write. I guess it is an indication that I have been reading for a very very long time.
