I love your lists!!! Your comments crack me up too! I feel the same way when i go through the chapters,I think "wow, I need to read MORE books like that because I've checked off almost nothing!".
Great start!
Good luck to checkin them off :)

I've read a few so far. Looking forward to reading them all.

So far I have finished 20 out of 639 books on the list. hmmmm....that is a pretty small percentage so far! This will be a challenge! :-)

Finished "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "The Catcher in the Rye" - surprisingly neither one was on this ultimate reading list....

Wow,I must say that is a very impressive list. Love the chick-lit genre you got going a lot of those are awesome picks:) Better get reading if you wanna see the day you finish all those,lol.

Trisha, I love the way you've done your lists. Very impressive.

My progress is very slow. I think I'm up to like 21 now...lol. Oh well, that's the fun of it.

I will be reading The Color Purple by Alice Walker next.

Good luck with your list.
