Reading

Ken posted his book list, which prompted
metamanda's list.

I do notice that the list runs the gamut from things you would read in highschool english, but also includes a bevy of scifi and fantasy, with a smattering of children's books thrown in. My count is 64 (before the 3 I added). If I read Terry Pratchett, I'd probably do better, as it seemed to me to have an large amount of his books in this list. (the one book of his that I did read -- Strata, isn't in there). I also notice that a trend seems to be books that have become movies. I'm not sure what the signifigance of this book list is -- whether it is a theme or if it just something random. I do note that most of the works are fiction (though there is some poetry and non-fiction in there as well).

Last week, the college board posted 101 Great Books, and this list does resemble that in some ways.

bold are books I've read and completed

italics are books either incomplete or sitting on my bookshelf.
