Read 6 of those from my list but in total I've read closer to 100 since I'm an avid reader who loves books. I once read 11 books in a week. Yes a week! And ofc I am that girl who has a bunch of books in her hands in the library.

I have read Dracula by Beam Stoker, but I don't care about reading the bible or the harry potter series. I am not religious but I have spiritual beliefs so I have no interest or need to read it, I have never been interested in reading the harry potter series because I prefer the Lord of the rings series more. I do intend to read most of these books though.

I've sadly only read nine, but am now taking this as a challenge. I will read all of these before the years up including the ones I've already read since I haven't read The Sherlock collection since the release of the First season of Sherlock by the BBC.

I've read 17 for sure, but there were one or two that I was unsure about. I was surprised at how many "modern" novels were on the list!

27, but like many others I've still got a lot of these on my shelf ready to be read such as pride and prejudice, although I have read pride and prejudice and zombies, does that count?

I've read 26 of these. Some of them I liked more than others, and quite a few are on my TBR list. There are a few that I would never recommend, even if they are considered classics, but that I know a lot of people would still want to read (or need to read for classes!)

I have read 63 of these. One third I read in high school...back in the day when children were required to read and write book reports every six weeks. I did not count the books I did not finish.
We had to read 10 books each summer and do book reports.
I was assigned an author, and had to read all their books to compare styles and themes.
That is what happens when you are born into a family of educators...:)
The Bible, my family required us to read and finish by our 16th birthday. And, then we had to attend bible study on top of that.
I read the Bell Jar the year that Sylvia Plath killed herself.
It is so nice to be able to read what I want at this time in my life.
