RULES: copy list, bold what you've read, underline what you loved, italicise what you plan on reading. Judy being Judy, there are now four more categories.
-05- :: UNDERLINED: love (all children's books, incidentally)
17ish :: RED: have actually read in original form
22ish :: BOLDED:have read have read part of and/or know enough about
-24- :: GREEN: recognise it
-17- :: BLUE: sounds sort of familiar (probably couldn't tell you what it's about, though)
-23- :: PLAIN: ...who?
-12- :: ITALICISED: intend to (re)read, for whatever reason
( top 100 or whatever )
So yeah, I am not so much with the classics. Or pop culture in general. 17ish is nicely above the average (6, apparently?), but considering the average reader...hnnn. It's just that most of these aren't my style, I was born into an SFF/YA/etc. mentality. Why read "true-to-life" fiction when you can read about dragons and spaceships and grand adventures? (Add in my fudges and we've got 39. That's good, right?)
