These books are often named as those you should read before you die (no matter how boring some of them are). How many have you read?

86/200

Some were read so long ago that I could read them again and they'd seem like new stories.

72/100 with a bit of license if I have read enough of an author's works for the complete (I forced my way through 4 of the Harry Potter series and hated it so stopped, and have read a great deal of Shakespeare). I didn't count books if I discarded them after reading only a few chapters,

63/200 may have missed a few I have been reading a long time and a few was not sure whether I had actually read book or just saw movie. Gave up after the first three Game of Thrones, so did not count.
Several are on my shelves waiting to be read. Like Karin have read a great deal of Shakespeare but not all

127/200

And as usual I don't agree with all in here - and of what is out of here ...
But this goes with all lists

56/200 most of them are on my TBR list. Let’s see how it goes next year.

35.

Interesting list. A bit unfair to lump all of Shakespeare or all of Poe into 1 "book". But illuminating.

Ooh, fun! A new list - I love lists!

OK - I didn't count books that I haven't actually finished (e.g. The Complete Works of Shakespeare & The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe) or that I abandoned (e.g. Madame Bovary). But I did count the Discworld series as I only have 2 to go out of 40+.

My total was 116 of the 200 :-)

I have quite a few of those I haven't read on my TBR (and actually own several of them).

57 but I’ve seen the movies of lots of ones I haven’t read, which means I most likely won’t read them! There are quite a few on my list for 2020 and there are some I have no interest in ever reading!

87/200 - I noticed The Hobbit being on the list two times ... I've read it more than once, so I guess it is okay to double count :)

I didn't notice that! I hate it when the people who put together the lists don't double check that sort of thing - or when they put a book from a series and the entire series both on the list...

LOL!

107. I take exception to some of these, for example, what does Fifty Shades of Grey have to do with being well read? And I saw 2 books mentioned twice.

56/200

Many I should tackle this list next year. Quite a few classics I have been trying to read that could boost my count. And why put on trilogy as one book or the complete works of certain authors.

Not only that ...

I agree, Joy.
