Nike | 98 comments The books on the list that I've read so far. Not as many as the rest of you it seems dispite the fact that I'm reading a LOT =). (Maybe it's because the list is very oriented towards writers from USA and England, I tend to read a lot from all over the world which do include England but I'm sorry to say I don't read much from the US. Maybe it's also because I love to read old classics and I would now like to start reading more contemporary literature). But now when I have read the entire list I'm amazed that there are so few female writers on it.
