From that list I’ve done:
The Lord of the Rings – J.R.R. Tolkien – read many times
To Kill a Mockingbird – Harper Lee – started it. Hated it.
The Harry Potter series – JK Rowling – (does this count as seven?)
Memoirs of a Geisha – Arthur Golden – A darling book, if slightly controversial. I enjoyed it.
The Hobbit – J.R.R. Tolkien – Of course.
Wuthering Heights – Emily Bronte – Hated it.
Catcher in the Rye – J.D. Salinger – It wasn’t as bad as some of the others shoved down my throat in high school English
Jane Eyre – Charlotte Bronte – snore
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – Douglas Adams – Read it several times, and it’s always worth returning.
Pillars of the Earth – Ken Follett – I’m about ¼ of the way through it. It’s very well written.
The Great Gatsby – F. Scott Fitzgerald – another force-feed from English class. I’ll probably read it again someday, just to get an untainted taste of it.
Love in the Time of Cholera – Gabriel Garcia Marquez – I cried. A glorious love story. I’m trying to get my hands on the film.
Nineteen Eighty-Four – George Orwell – I reference this book far too often in daily life.
Chocolat – Joanne Harris – Not sure why this is on the list. It’s okay, but not great by any stretch of the imagination.
Dune – Frank Herbert – The spice must flow!
Wind in the Willows – Kenneth Grahame – classic.
Little Women – Louisa May Alcott – read it in jr. high for a book report. Longest two weeks of my preteen life. I read it over in high school and appreciated it much better.
Lord of the Flies – William Golding – excellent.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe – C.S. Lewis – I read this in the 4th grade, right after finishing “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” for the first time. I found Narnia to be childish and boring in comparison – and I was eight years old at the time. I’ve never bothered to re-read it.
Alice in Wonderland – Lewis Carroll – Best acid trip. ever.
The Red Tent – Anita Diamant – A story of the family of biblical Abraham, told from the perspective of his daughter Dinah. Very well written, and gives a lovely insight to the much-ignored women of the time period.
Watership Down – Richard Adams – If this doesn’t make you cry or think, you don’t have a soul.
The Count of Monte Cristo – Alexandre Dumas – A definite must-read, though I’ll warn the language is a little on the difficult side.
…....I really don’t think there were 101 on that list. It kind of cuts off at the bottom.
