I've read 46. And not the Da Vinvi Code or Harry Potter

That purple car link PP posted was great. Very illuminating.

And if we can count those we didn't read all the way through but put down after getting bored, I could maybe add 5 more.

Ditto. I also question a list that has The Da Vinci Code on it and Harry Potter.

43, many of which I've read multiple times. A few I think I read but can't quite remember. (Did I read The Color Purple? I own it. I saw the movie. Did I start but not finish?) But a lot of these are books I'd never read.

53.

45

At least 20 of these were on my high school reading list.

Wow, weird list.

I've read 84. I feel kind of guilty taking credit for Shakespeare and for Hamlet, also for taking credit for books that I hated, like DaVinci

Agtree, utterly biazarre list. I have read more than half if not most. Admittedly, many I read in highschool or college. I am really surprised by all the light weight more recent fiction but, happily, I read all the time and many genre so I have read most of those, too. I have a 4th grade son and he seems to have inherited my love of books and joy in reading a diverse selection.

I've read 56, but I counted the Bible and the Complete works of Shakespeare. I think I have read almost all of the Bible and about a third of Shakespeare. I've mainly not read more of the modern books. Some of which I think are lame to include. But, I enjoy anything that makes people talk about books.

27 - need to read more I guess....

There is the link to the list.

And this is the link to the article that created it

OP, where did you read about the 6 books thing? I know this made the blog rounds some time ago and no one could find that info either, and concluded that it was "made up".

And, here is a website also trying to get to the bottom of it;

I've read 68 and several have re-read.

Wow I thought my number would be higher, but it's 25 for me.
And I'll go on the record to say that I hate, hate, hate Jane Erye. I read part of it before school, then re-read that part in school, and tried later in life to read it again. I don't know what it is, I just don't like it.
