  1. The Biblio Brat Says:

    Hmm. I’ve seen this before, but not really thought about it. Let me see what I can come up with. Oh, and WOW. I’m impressed.

    (I really mean that in a nice way hon, pwomise)

  2. Scath Says:

    I’m wondering if they’re only counting the series as one book? Because I’ve read all the Narnia books and all the Harry Potter books. I don’t think I’ve read ALL of Shakespeare’s works, but I’ve read several. And some of those titles (ex. Jane Eyre) I *think* I’ve read, but can’t remember for certain.

    And Beowulf’s not on there? The Canterbury Tales? Read those.

  3. Scath Says:

    Also, LOL!

    I bet you thought I read strictly fantasy, scifi and thrillers, huh? ;)

  4. Kate Says:

    Well there’s the ones I’ve read and the ones I’ve started, and the list of will-never-read…
