I have read 31, and currently I am reading 2
I have only read 6 so I really need to catch up
I have only read 23...and it's my group! Haha! Talk about embarassing, looks like I have some catching up to do!!
It looks like I've only read 18, but there are so many more I want to read!
I've read 18. There are some that I will put on my "to read" list.
I've read 9. But most of those books in in my to read list.
Just checked it out, and I have read 14. Lots of catching up to do!
I found this thread when I was looking through old threads, looking for Contemporary Classics definition *grin*.I started to count, shortly after I joined, in Trisha's "Catching Up Challenge", but I'm not sure now, how many.
Here's our bookshelf: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...
What's YOUR number? :D
28 for me, hopefully with a few more crossed off the list soon
Pink wrote: "28 for me, hopefully with a few more crossed off the list soon"I just did a quick scan. I think I'm at 30 ... and maybe (hopefully) Clockwork and Mockingbird and Solitude and Adventures of Sherlock, next, will bring me to 34 next month.
I've read 18 of them since joining this group!! :-o (wow!)
Only 5... but I'll get there eventually.
I'm at 39, but hope to read the Sherlock Holmes (#3) next week:-).
Sad to say I have only read 6!! I own many more of them that I just have not read yet. Even more reason I am glad I joined this group.

26 so far, with plenty of reading to do.
8, and I've already read the two books of next month so basically almost 10. Which is still not that great..
23/84, I have already read 2 of May books in past, Maybe War and Peace time

20/84...looks like I have my work cut out for me. There are plenty more books on the shelf that I need to read and explore. :)
I've only read 12, and I consider myself quite well-read when it comes to classics! Oh well, it'd be a pretty sad state of affairs if I had nothing else on my to-read list :)
13/84...but I have a shockingly large number of them on my TBR. Yay!
I was surprised to find that I have read 55/84 and have several more on my shelf and/or TBR list.

You three seem to have read the most so far, Bob, Connie, and Cleo. I'm not surprised at all, Connie! You almost always read all of the monthly reads, I've noticed.

33/84well I just joined here, so definately plan to read a lot of the books on the list, most of them are on my TBR-list anyway :-)
14/84. Somehow I thought it would be less, to be honest.
Okay, I counted this up.I read 8 while in high school (30 years ago)
I read 13 either for fun during school or after school and before Good Reads.
I read 11 after Good Reads.
21! Not too bad, but definite room for improvement.
Oh, yes! There are many books I look at and think, why didn't we read that in school? I can always improve. I feel sorry for people that don't read books. They're missing so much!
I'm on my 40th. I will be reading several of them by June.
only 15 so far, but i have 7 more on my reading list :)
Only 9 of 84!! Which is the reason I joined this group. :-) Looking forward to reading more of them!

(And, btw, that was the same reason I joined this group, too :)) )
Only 5, it turns out.. so hopefully I'll catch up a bit :)

Hi Richa! Welcome to Catching Up on the Classics (and lots more!). Glad to have you join us :)
Just found the group and I have read 43 not too bad.

Totally doesn't suck, Stephanie! You have lots of good reading to be discovered, hopefully :)
44 of 84 for me. I think those who have read only a few are to be envied - think of all the enjoyment ahead!
