[Alteration]

I'm chalking up The Bible (finished the entire new testament, working on the more history/prophecy oriented parts of the old testament such as Kings, Isaiah, etc), currently reading 1984, Animal Farm, currently reading A Brave New World, and The Secret Garden are those on the list I've read.

This is not an accurate representation of my reading habits, however. I have read the X-Wing series, the Republic Commando series, and the Young Jedi Knight series, as well as almost hundreds more disjointed star wars books (eg crystal star, shard of the mind's eye, Timothy Zahn's books, etc).

I'm a bit surprised a wrinkle in time isn't on there. I know a lot of people have read that.

[Bloody Mary]

A solid half. My personal favorites were 1984 and Inferno, but they're all amazing.

Wow, so was I. I loved that book.
Personally I thought the ending was really stupid, but other than that it was great.

[bejacks]

"2001: A Space Odyssey" should've been on there imo

[Darkmario765]

I've read quite a few of those, most notable for me is A Tale of Two cities

[Caribou]

I read #5, #70, #10, #11, #30, #87, and #99. I read a lot of the other books on the list, but my memory is not great today.

[Ipquarx]

I've read 14 of those.

[Bravo]

I've read 8
