27! Most of them were for school though :/

Wow, you've read a TON of these. You're either an English major or you just love the classics. Either way, I'm impressed. (copied and pasted from the quiz)
I was a Fine Art major but many of these were required for me in high school. One in college which was Candide. I was surprised that there was no Shakespeare on this quiz. Some of these I will never read as I hate them. I hate Lady Chatterley's Lover which I was supposed to read over the summer and I was shocked by it and got angry and still think it is trash.
I had to read Medea in college and I don't think it was on this list. I think LIstopia's here have better lists of classics. (here on goodreads).

Thanks! They were mostly required. I had a mean English teacher who thought we were only taking her class. Our summer reading page were 3 pages long if I remember right. Mom took us to the library every week. You would not believe how much she mad us suffer over Heart of Darkness. that book was like torture to me.

Read most of them in high school (AP and honors English and lit only) or in college (creative writing major). And I just love classics, lol.
Planning on reading Don Quixote over this coming summer, so that will bring me up to 43.

Oh Heart of Darkness was HORRIBLE! I was forced to read it in school too and man i did not like that book

You've definitely read a handful of these, but there are still SO MANY that you haven't. Add them to your reading list!
Most of them were classics so I'm not surprised that I haven't read many of them
