| That is a heavy-duty reading list. I may have read 10-12 of those. A couple of others, I have tried to read but never made it through. Can anyone on here say (honestly) that they've read them all? If so . . . .  |

| About 15-16 for me with another 7-8 started but not finished.
The multiples from Steinbeck helped me get my numbers up!

| I have read at least 16 of these. I honestly think I have read Robinson Crusoe, but it has been so long and I forgot so much of it, I didn't count it.
I'm sorry, but I could not get through Atlas Shrugged. I got a bit more than halfway through it when she started on the utopia where all the great men were tending gardens and what not that I just lost interest.

| Surprised to see a current author like Krakauer on there with 2 books. Were these ranked? If so, he messed up putting Into the Wild ahead of Into Thin Air. | |

| I've got 28, one more if you count the Bible but I definitely haven't read it cover to cover so I didn't know how to decide on the one, but as someone else mentioned there are a few I wish I could un-read. "Metamorphosis" by Kafka almost killed me trying to get through. | |

| The SI issue with Sid Finch on the cover should absolutely be on the list. | |
