I've read a lot of those books but it's hardly a list of good books. Some of them are absolute crap.

wibble

Does watching the movie version count?

stickyfiddle

One and a half (Charlie & ChocFac and roughly half of 1984)

I'm dyslexic, so find reading fiction really hard - the words just don't go in

I haven't read Oliver Twist but I saw the musical.
I think that counts.

paganskins

Pleasantly surprised at 28

nocasternoproblem

39.  

Wtf is the da Vinci Code doing on there?

BahHumbug

12.  All mine are 20th/21st century ones.  I really struggle to stick with anything older than 20th century.  I think it’s the silly outfits

Grunfeld

20

But most of those books don't interest me.  I read different things.

RedRabbit

20 I think.  Of those A Prayer for Owen Meany was probably my favourite.  Hated Of Mice and Men, though it probably doesn't help that I read it for GCSE English.

I really should read more.  I used to love a good book but just seem to have read fewer and fewer books over the years.

...

Beats me; I've only read half of them. 

Including Moby Dick, which has to be the most boring thing I've ever encountered, and I own a stack of Yes albums.

VimFuego

40.

5, 6, 40, 87 & 99......But I  can’t seem to find any mention of the fabulous Adrian Mole series or Enid Blyton’s Famous Five... Surely there must be some kind of mistake in the BBC’s list... And the omission of Kes is downright scandalous....If I still watched anything on the BBC I’d write to Points in View and highlight their failings in no uncertain terms.....

JerkMoans

61. Agreed re the utter tedium of Moby Dick. 

Roland

A lowly 40. My wife has read about 75 of them.

Brio

34. But I’m old.

Sassafras

I lost count round about the 80 mark.
I'll read any old crap.

When I was an 11-year-old, our class were all given a novel to read in the 6 week summer holiday, and we had to write a review on it as our homework.
I was given No.49 on that list. Lord of the Flies by William Golding. It left me traumatised. I don't think I've actually recovered from it. Gave me nightmares.
