Author Topic: How well read are you? (Old thread resurrection)  (Read 2003 times)

4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling
5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
6 The Bible
22 The Great Gatsby - F Scott Fitzgerald
33 Chronicles of Narnia - CS Lewis
70 Moby richard - Herman Melville
87 Charlotte’s Web - EB White

I mainly read mechanics/car/science mags and other non-fiction things

the author of the bible my friends is jesus christ
he didn't write it though

The Hobbit
The Bible
To Kill a Mockingbird
Catcher in the Rye


read some books like Old School and MacBeth too in English



I'm disgusted by the lack of great Russian literature on this list.

I've read:
4,5,22,27,29,33,36,49,62,99

I'd say that's not bad for someone who hasn't had time to pleasure read for the last 3 or 4 years.
