I think I've read every play by Shakespeare but since he has other writings as well, I didn't check of that one.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120883583219857456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20459118.post-86099766956797001742009-02-26T21:40:00.000-08:002009-02-26T21:40:00.000-08:00My question is how do you remember how many times ...My question is how do you remember how many times you've read some of those books?

I think I could pick 10 of those that were required reading by the end of high school.<BR/><BR/>Which makes it all the more pathetic that I have only read 22 of them.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040967907209961869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20459118.post-89400232929662926932009-02-26T19:17:00.000-08:002009-02-26T19:17:00.000-08:00The DaVinci Code is pure pulp fiction so I would a...The DaVinci Code is pure pulp fiction so I would agree that it is not worthy of being included in a 'top 100 books you should read' list. The story was okay but the writing was horrific. But I can't agree with your assessment of the Harry Potter series. It shouldn't be devalued just because it is a children's book. If you consider that books like Little Women, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Alice in Wonderland are usually found on such lists, it isn't a big leap to say that Harry Potter deserves such a place. That series will stand the test of time, as evidenced by its enormous appeal to peoples of all ages.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120883583219857456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20459118.post-49596206075359410682009-02-26T18:27:00.000-08:002009-02-26T18:27:00.000-08:00I just can't believe that the average is 6!

The DaVinci code is nothing better than an action flick written into a book. The Harry Potter series, while excellent, is by no means on its way to the classics list with Hemingway and Austen.... and shouldn't exactly make a "top 100" reading list :P<BR/>These Facebook memes are a little too democratic for my taste ;)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06215006549084157344noreply@blogger.com
