I've read 20 of out of 75.

I guess I have some reading to do, but there are some on this list I know I will never read.

hmph! Harumph. I love that book.

On the other hand: Plainsong? It's a good book, but worthy of this list?

LOL I was underwhelmed by it too. Not that it was bad, I just couldn't really see why it was so highly praised.

I don't really read fiction. Mainly theory (philosophy, psychology etc.) and biographies.

I shared this list with my co-teacher. That's the first thing we noticed...

worship The best book I've ever read in my life. I've read it at least 3 times, cover to cover and thinking of reading it a 4th time.

[Edited 5/24/13 5:00am]

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Legends of the Fall, Revolutionary Road,The Shinning and Malcom X (assuming that Spike Lee used that book as the basis for his film).

Those are the only movies I've seen from that list.

To Kill A Mockingbird isn't on that list so it's baloney.
