This is of interest to literally nobody. I don't think I've done too badly there. Just imagine I've put a yellow dot beside all the remaining good ones.

How the fuck did you try and fail to read so many? 1984 is not a difficult book.

You can tell the Harry Potter craze was in full swing during that time. Dark days, lads, dark days indeed.

Saying you're not a native speaker doesn't lessen the embarrassment you should feel.

As for 1984 - yes, it wasn't difficult at all; It just was annoying and shallow to me. His storyteller is annoyed about the drabness of the dress, food quality and other such non-issues.
And porn and sports is both an inner party plan to keep you docile as a prole.

+ what is it with the sexy young nymphomaniac characters in books by men over 40?

>>8310551
It probably helped that I'm British so most of those books were around me when I was growing up.

I thought it would be easier to mark the books I had never heard of. I realized about halfway through that I had made a terrible mistake but it was too late to turn back.

Why are there so many Terry Pratchett books on the list?

here's my "read", as far as i can remember. couldn't be bothered to fill in the rest, they'd mostly be green, of course everyone's heard of most of the books in the list. there'd be a couple of pinks but there are some books i plan to go back to and finish.

i've probably read a few more of the children's ones but don't remember. the secret garden for example. but i mainly remember it because of the film so i haven't ticked it.

the children's books on the list are pretty much divided by generations. when i was a kid we read roald dahl, now it seems kids read jacqueline wilson.

pretty good populist list overall. not surprised if /lit/ pseuds hate it.

>Why are there so many Terry Pratchett books on the list?
because he was a massively popular author who wrote books people actually like to read

>>8310522
the harry potter books would still all be on the list if it was published today. probably still will be if the list is remade in 50 years.

p.s. the day of the triffids scared the shit out of me when i was a kid

i'm over it now though

Nice. Nobody here in America has ever heard of it when I say it's my favorite book.

That list is pretty disgusting, though; it's filled to the brim with children's literature, YA literature, and high school curriculum garbage. Really goes to show how ignorant the average person is, and how they never read past high school.

>what's your favorite book?
>well, I haven't read a book since 10th grade, so I guess To Kill A Mockingbird or The Great Gatsby!

>>8311597
So your favourite book is a children's literature book and then you say you hate the list because it's full of children's literature? OK then.

>Really goes to show how ignorant the average person is,
Not at all. it's because the books you read as a child are the ones that have the biggest impact on you and stay with you forever. I'm older than the average poster here and I read loads but i'd still say my favourite books ever are probably Alice, and Wind in the Willows.

Also, you're probably an "average person".
