The selection panel must have come from the same place as my high school and college literature teachers. grin. That's a daunting list. I've read 35 total, most of them required reading for classes. Of the 35, I only really enjoyed 5 or 6 of them, though. smile.

If ever there was an activity designed to define the word

the honor more democratically, the editors at the Norwegian
Book Clubs devised a survey of about 100 well-known authors
from 54 countries to create such a list in 2002. Given the
amazing levels of literacy that Bookshare volunteers showed
with the BBC list I offer this challenge:

How many of the following books have you read?
