Lifetime Reading List

I have had this Lifetime Reading List for some time now and I thought  I'd finally share it with you.
There are many on this list (29) that I have read (the ones that are starred), several that have been turned into movies I have seen, and several others that I would like to read eventually or already have on my bookshelf to read.  I think that being well-read teaches a person so much, plus you know these books are on this list for a reason :)  I also must add that there are many other great books that should be on this list but aren't.  

How many of these books have you read?

[Jennifer]

I have read 71 of those. I highly recommend Cold Sassy Tree and A Prayer for Owen Meany. Two excellent reads among many. :)

[Kristi S (sweetsauer)]

I didn't do very good on this list. I have only read 6 I think, of which 5 you have read and have seen some of these movies. I liked the movie, Like Water for Chocolate, a foreign film. I also read A Prayer for Owen Meany as it was highly recommended to me, however I can't remember what it's about!

[Michelle Sauer]

I've read 12 of them. Hmmm, not much of an English major huh? Nice new scheme going on!

Cold Sassy Tree is on its way to me and I requested A Prayer for Owen Meany Looking forward to them!

HOLY CRAP GIRL!!! I have only read Call of the Wild and The Secret Garden. Although, I have seen all of the movies of most of these.
