How many of these books have you read?

[Franke]

4 - There's a couple of books which I didn't count in. We had to read them for school but I only read them half or until we were done with the topic in class.
Still I wonder why they picked Shakespeare's Hamlet (which seems like a random pick to me) while on the other hand they demand that you read all of the Harry Potter crap.

[Miwiw]

It's the BBC, don't expect too much.

I read the bible up until a certain part where it went on for pages talking about people who had sons, and their sons, and they lived for ~1000 years etc. and it went on and on like that for ages. I never got to any of the good parts.

This is, word for word, my experience reading the Bible. Next stop Mein Kampf, for the "most unreadable book ever" award.

Only 4 for me. Have seen movie adaptation for like 10 of those books. I should atleast read Dune and Great Gatsby from that list. 

Also list is missing good stuff like: "The Old Man and the Sea", "The Alchemist" and "The Picture of Dorian Gray".

[WITCHCRAFT]

is there a similar list of "How many of these porn videos have you watched"?

Uh I'm pretty sure that BBC isn't the one in the OP 

[Sir_Hans]

No kurt vonnegut, hunter s thompson, mark twain or george rr martin...?

Bad list!!!

I've only read 2 from that list, and I'm proud!

This is basically the "what you are told to read in school" list. Most of those books couldn't interest me less, and most of them are also pretty crappy, despite their "cult" status. I read ~2 books a week usually and I only had 6 on that list, like I said before.

got score :21

Who in thei right mind would make a list where you put Dune,Lord of the Flies,Orwell,Tolkien etc.. next to "The Diary of  Bridget Jones" or" DaVinci Code"

[vipere]

10, but mostly because school and shit, I prefer reading historical fiction otherwise and there's not a lot of those in that list

thanks to Tolkien and french classics
Bible : old or new testament ? 

[Corwin]

Only 34. However, I am pretty sure I've read lot of great books that are not on the list. The list is too Anglo centric, not enough Russian or German classics there, and many very important books are missing. For example, no Gilgamesh, Illiad, Odissey, Mahabharata, Romance of the Three Kingdoms etc. There is only one Dostoyevski book, but every bullshit Dickens ever wrote is on the list. The Bible is there, but Qur'an isn't etc.

Imagine a world where The Art of War and Rendezvous with Rama would be mandatory choices on lists as his one.

[Xant]

Why the Art of War? What's good about the Book of the Most Obvious Statements Ever?

[Smoothrich]

I scored 25 and thought I was embarrassingly low, since at least 3/4 of the books I haven't read I've been meaning to get around to.

Then I read this thread LOL @ illiterate europeans, no wonder American culture has taken over as the dominant force worldwide, EUs nowadays seem imcapable of appreciating or creating anything that isn't a pastiche of American reality TV nowadays
