message 101: by Sk (new)

Sk Narasimhan | 1 comments Read 68 from the list so far. Maybe I will set a goal for myself to knock off the rest by end of the year :-)


message 102: by Soph (new)

Soph Bee | 1 comments I've read 22 (some more than once as well!) on my 23rd :))


message 103: by Carrie (new)

Carrie (cstienen) | 12 comments I've read 14. I think this list is a little unfair though; it counts the entire works of Shakespeare as one book? That seems ridiculous. :/


message 104: by Daniela (new)

Daniela | 1 comments 24 out of 100 hmmm not very happy with the result!


message 105: by Poppy (new)

Poppy | 39 comments Ive read 55 and have added 25 to my book challenge for 2015. I don't even care if someone messed around with the list; I need to get out of my comfort zone (long 19th century novels) and into something more challenging for me (depressing modernist 20th century novels.)

Lea Ann (buntingla) I've read 20. At least it's more than six.
