I own every single book in the Dune series. The ones written by his son aren't as good- the original is still the best! I about fell out of my chair when my BIL said casually, "Dune? I read that. Not much storyline to it." |
53
At least 6 were required reading for school |
56. And I went to high school in Africa. |
NP here. I loved Wuthering Heights. One of my all tome favorites. Would never have read it but for this girl that I loved in college. She was an English major and kept telling me that I reminded her of Heathcliff. I swear, I thought that she meant the big orange cat. I really liked lasagna. |
06:46 again. For the many PPs asking about the list's composition, the link (posted by a PP) discusses this. |
I've read 34. Don't understand the different between "Complete Works of William Shakespeare" and just "Hamlet"...that one seems strange to me. |
I'm at 60 at least...I was an English major in college and got a Master's with an English concentration. Some of these books I would not really put on a "list" like this, though. |
I've read dozens on that list, but I have a master's in English and am an avid reader. But I would think people would read more than six just by virtue of going through high school and, for some, college. |
58.
Why do they subject high school kids to Moby Dick? I loved reading and that just killed me..... |
59. Many in high school. |
46--I attended a girls' school in Virginia, and we had an extensive required reading list. Plus, I was an English minor in college. |
60 |
I've read all 110 of them. |
I've read 52 and re-read quite a few of them. |
