I don't have to read "Bridget Jones Diary" to know it's crappy. I know what it's about, no amount of witty writing is going to save gay stories like that.

Okay, in this case I can agree with you  :P

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

You now, any treatise on logic or math is literally nothing but obvious statements yet people still think it's hard.

Btw when I see "The BFG of Roald Dahl" I don't think I'm thinking about the same BFG.

67, but a hell of a lot of those are required reading in school anyway. I also wasn't allowed to watch tv or read most genres besides Victorian fare and was pretty much limited to my parent's personal library and school libraries. Got to wonder what that says about them.

That's different in each country though, in my English class we were required to read Romeo&Julia for example.
In German we've read some rather unknown German novels and known books like Effi Briest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effi_Briest) or Buddenbrooks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddenbrooks).

My German teachers for example would say how important it is for everyone to read books like Effi Briest. Everyone who was forced to read that book would say it is surely not. ^_^

I'm very proud to have read The Little Prince, and to own it. Clearly the biggest masterpiece there.

Other than that, 10 books.

But the list in itself is a joke.

Harry Potter : Volume number 2. Why not the first one ?
The Chronicles of Narnia, audio collection : Yes, of course i'll have read that one...
There's even a second entry for Narnia : The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
And as much as i understand french classics around (Germinal, Madam Bovary, Les Miserables), i don't understand why The 3 Muskeeters is in the list. Don't get me wrong, i liked it, but, it's not really a classic, is it ?



Since it contain thoses pesky fantasy titles, i'm really ashamed of not seeing "The Black Company".
Not a single book of Lovecraft or Terry Pratchett either...

Never mind a complete lack of Robert E. Howard and Asimov. I'd even go as far as to say that Gibson and Philip K. Dick should be on that list if Rowling is on it.

That said, I scored 7.
