Thanks for the mention! This is just one of the many “Must Read” lists I compulsively keep track of on my blog. I’ve read 61 one of the so far and will eventually get through all of them. But I can’t say as I read many of them before graduating from high school!

About 35. Some of these books are too difficult for college-bound. I mean, books like Beloved, War and peace, The Woman Warrior and Crime and Punishment require more maturity to understand. I read a couple of them in high school and found I have either not understood the meaning or had been too flighty to pay attention to the details.

I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get back here to your site, because I love your comments you leave me. Now that I’ve been here, I LOVE the writing quotes you did for this week!!! I so need to get back to writing. I’ve added you to my blogroll so I’ll be back more often. Meantime, to the list for the college books – I’m happy to say that attending university did pay off, I have read some of these books! lol

I’ve read 33 all the way through, with two in bits and pieces. Not bad. Still, I wonder who makes these lists, and why they think THESE books are important…
