Some fantastic books here - but Harry Potter? In a classics book list? Really?

Ok, my first point, the Harry Potter series count as 7! So I've already beaten the BBCs idea already!
I've read about 14 of those and on top of that there are some I haven't finished! Plus loads of books I've read that aren't on the list! So the BBC are WRONG!

I've read 12 so far, have a few more on the go and then some more on my wanting to read list.

52 and counting. :)

I have read 20:)

I have read 70 of the books listed as follows - the ones I haven't read are deleted from the list (couldn't work out how to use bold font here). Now I am going to have to find time to read the rest of them!

I got so excited because I've read 28. Then I saw that someone (Helen, I think) has read 70. I've got a lot to read, lol.

I've read 22 of the books on this list. Tomorrow is the first day of April, what better time to start a challenge than that?! Off I go!

I've read 54! Wooo!!! Still about half to go, hope they're as good as the first half!!! :D

I count only 31 that I can honestly say I have read all the way through and some of those 50 years ago!. My 46 year old daughter, also a member here, sent me the challenge link. She's read 55!. Also, I can honestly say there are several books on this list which I have no interest in reading.

Hey Dad! I honestly was surprised that I surpassed you- I thought for sure that you would be in the 70's. I think you read more eclectic stuff- this is a pretty populist list.


BTW, I'm the 46 year old daughter that read 55 of them. I'm surprised that the DaVinci Code made it in, and many of those titles are from one author (Dickens, Austen, Dumas).

I'm only 16 and I reckon I've read 15 of these books cover to cover. So I'm quite happy with that :)

Harry Potter Series
Little Women
The Time Travellers Wife
Alice In Wonderland
Chronicles of Narnia
The Kite Runner
Memoirs of a Geisha
Anne of Green Gables (one of my favourite books)
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night
The Lovely Bones (another favourite book)
Oliver Twist
Dracula
The Secret Garden
A Christmas Carol
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

39 is my number but I have to say I think this is an odd list. There are a good 20-30 books on there that I'd never consider reading. Compare that to the Modern Library list of best 100 books of the 20th century where I felt like I should try to read all of them.

I have read 69 of the books in the list, but more importantly I haven't yet read 31 of them... actually some have been on my list for sometime... by the way I do agree the Harry Potter Series should not be one book, although I have read all of them...

I've read 43!!!

i've read 31, and got a few more on my shelf to read, i've even read a few of them in Spanish too, and there's loads on the list i would love to read

I've read 28 of them. More than the proposed average, but I now have the need to read them all...

I've read 63 of the 100 (if I've counted correctly),starred those read. I actually had quite a few of those read TO me as a child and then reread them as an adult :) Literary families are awesome.

I am going to set myself a challenge to try the ones I haven't as well, that sounds like a good idea.

This is almost the same as the list on Facebook, which must have come the same source, but I can't find the original on the BBC (a completely different list comes up when I search). Does anyone know where the original list is? It would be interesting to know who chose them.

Hm - 42 - there's got to be some meaning to that. ;)

1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien
3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling
5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
7 Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
8 Nineteen Eighty Four - George Orwell
9 His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
10 Great Expectations - Charles Dickens
11 Little Women - Louisa M Alcott
16 The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien
20 Middlemarch - George Eliot - maybe
22 The Great Gatsby - F Scott Fitzgerald
23 Bleak House - Charles Dickens
25 The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
29 Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll
30 The Wind in the Willows - Kenneth Grahame
32 David Copperfield - Charles Dickens
33 Chronicles of Narnia - CS Lewis
35 Persuasion - Jane Austen
45 The Woman in White - Wilkie Collins
46 Anne of Green Gables - LM Montgomery
47 Far From The Madding Crowd - Thomas Hardy
52 Dune - Frank Herbert
54 Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen
57 A Tale Of Two Cities - Charles Dickens
66 On The Road - Jack Kerouac
70 Moby Dick - Herman Melville
71 Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens
72 Dracula - Bram Stoker
73 The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett
74 Notes From A Small Island - Bill Bryson

79 Vanity Fair - Thackeray
81 A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens
87 Charlotte’s Web - EB White
89 Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
90 The Faraway Tree Collection - Enid Blyton
91 Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad
92 The Little Prince - Antoine De Saint-Exupery
94 Watership Down - Richard Adam
99 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Roald Dahl

And it looks like it'll stay at 42 too, since I have no urge to read any of the ones I deleted. Grouping books into collections does some odd things to numbers, too.

16 (plus one unfinished book...)

1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling
5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
7 Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
11 Little Women - Louisa M Alcott
(19 The Time Traveler’s Wife) --almost finished
27 Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
29 Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll
36 The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
50 Atonement - Ian McEwan
51 Life of Pi - Yann Martel
59 The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night - Mark Haddon
73 The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett
87 Charlotte’s Web - EB White
92 The Little Prince - Antoine De Saint-Exupery
99 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Roald Dahl

Its a smaller list than most-- but still being in high school, 16's not bad!

Has nobody noticed that book number 34 is missing? It's supposed to be Emma by Jane Austen, at least it is according to my list. To make the list complete you should include "34 Emma -Jane Austen".

Wow, I actually just realized that the list I've been using has been missing two books (23 and 26) too, and that one book (36) was wrong. It all makes a lot more sense now! It's funny how hard it is to spot mistakes in such a long list.

Of these, I have read Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen, Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte, Harry Potter series - JK Rowling, To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee, Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte, Nineteen Eighty Four - George Orwell, <3 Catch 22 - Joseph Heller <3, <3COMPLETE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE<3, The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien, Catcher in the Rye �� JD Salinger, The Great Gatsby - F Scott Fitzgerald, Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy, Chronicles of Narnia - CS Lewis, Persuasion - Jane Austen, Animal Farm - George Orwell, A Prayer for Owen Meaney - John Irving, Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen, Of Mice and Men - John Steinbeck, Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov, Moby Dick - Herman Melville (I finished this this week), The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath, The Little Prince - Antoine De Saint-Exupery (I JUST READ THIS THIS MORNING),
A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Roald Dahl, <3 Les Miserables - Victor Hugo<3;

A full quarter on the list, and I am only sixteen years old. Babam.

Also, you failed to have number 34 on the list, which is THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE by C.S.Lewis. Not to be snarky, and jsyk

I've seen a lot of different versions of this list, but why would number 34 be The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe when number 33 is the Chronicles of Narnia? I wish I could find the original list, but all I find is href=", and it's not the same at all. Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter that much. There's a lot of great books on the list anyway.

39 read, but like many of you there are a number Never Gonna Reads on this list. Some I wouldn't read having seen the films now, and some I've started but can't be bothered finishing. I also don't get why it's Shakespeare's complete works as 1 book as they are all individual works....

I don't get why Complete Works of Shakespeare is on there either, it isn't on the original list.
There is a BBC radio programme called Desert Island Discs, where guests choose their favourite music. They also get to choose one book to take, in addition to The Bible and the Shakespeare, which are apparently present on every island, whether the guest wants them or not.

I did post up the original BBC list Nuran, see message 90, which is how I know Shakespeare is not on it. My theory is much the same as yours, that someone took the BBC list, deleted the books they hadn't read and added some they had. That does not really explain why the Complete Works of Shakespeare is on there, although might explain why The Bible is.

I've read 7 of them but since there are 7 books in the Harry Potter series I think it should count as 14.

I have read nine of them and most of those that i have read i was made to read.

I've read 31 of them and a little proud of it.:)

I've read 65 so far. Realistically there's some on this list that I will never read - ie Complete Works of Shakespeare - they should be watched rather than read I reckon.

I keep putting off War and Peace and Ulysses because basically, I frightened of them!

thanks fixing it now

I assure you this was the list I found and I promise I didn't tamper with it
