Next to add to your list, recommended by mmeeeeeee, is Narnia. Gooooood books. :-)

Aha, will keep that in mind. I saw "The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe" at the cinema and I liked it, so I'm quite interested in reading the books. Haven't read anything in eons, though, so I don't know how that will go.

Hugs ^^

Well, if you do read them, let me know what you think! The movie was well done, but the book is and will always be better. :-) My mom read the entire series aloud to us when I was a kid and I've read them all countless times since, so they hold a special place in my heart.

Oh! But if you read them, read them in their proper order. I don't know if they've got the wrong order in Greek the way they do in English, but the way you should read them is this ( ... )

Aha, thank you :)

To be honest, I haven't read anything new in a while, so I don't see myself reading the Chronicles of Narnia anytime soon :x But someday I'll get back to reading, and then... :D

YAY for passing! *g*

Another "little women" and "Jane Eyre" fan, YAY! Jane Eyre is the book that made the most impression on me. I had this Brönté family thing when everybody wa praising Wurthering heights. I really prefer Jane Eyre. and I'll shut up now. ;)

Have a super end of week... holidays yet?

I am quite curious to read Wuthering Heights, to be honest. I remember liking Jane Eyre a lot - it was one of the first books I ever read in English.

Yes! It's holidays already. :) Thanks, and have a great one too! :)

I'm too scared to touch this meme. I'd only humiliate myself, lol. I say I like reading but I think the only books I read are Harry Potter!

Haha xD

Well, I've been reading all of my life, and only made 7/100 here. :x

To be fair, most of these books are originally in English. And I know many of the ones I had read were for classes (high school English lit, college English lit - as an English lit major), so I wouldn't belittle your 7. That's still impressive. :)

Of course, I'm still going to push you to make it 8 by reading Narnia. O:)

Yeah, but it's not like you're 80 years old (or are you? lol)! So even if you have been reading all your life it's not that's long considering how young you are, unless you read Jane Austen the moment you popped out of your mum's uterus :P

WOo HOO!!! jrider264re July 5 2008, 21:35:42 UTC
17...could be a record. The vast majority of those 17 were required in school here. Some I just read because I liked to read....still do, though these days it's mostly Dean Koontz, James Patterson, David Baldacci, and Janet Evanovich.

I don't know any of these writers :x

I kinda find it funny you have whole books as required reading at school. (Good for you, though.) We only study short passages of books here.
