I've read 30. It's a pretty decent list, but there are a few I've never heard of.
Wow 30 thats pretty good! I'm going to have to look at those that i've never heard of.
That's pretty good, Natalie! Like you, I'll have to look at some of these books that I've never heard of. Even though the library is poorly stocked (in my opinion), I'm sure they'll have some of these classics. I'll have to check. :)
I have definitely read more, and i know that just by skimming through the list.
I'm really sad though, I really wanna post this, but I have no one to tag, my blog is so brand new. :(
Thanks Jessica!
Will be checking your blog Nikola for your list :0)

I've read 32 with 16 on my TBR pile/list. But there's no way I'll ever read them all because, well, some of them I don't want to read.
