My TBR list currently contains 191 titles (I have numbered the list to make it a bit easier to keep track of the length of the list). And that's rather modest compared to some of the lists that other people have on this forum :D
 
Quite the list MonkeyCatcher.:eek:


I keep mine pretty simple compared to that.

*The Grapes of Wrath(finishing this up currently as I took an extended break)
*Atlantis Found(Just bought it, it beckons me daily)
*A Farewell to Arms
*Germinal(I need to re-read this one, hopefully by summer)

I've got hundreds (if not thousands). I've got a ton at home, some at my moms and over a hundred that I just can't afford to buy. I've been swapping books online to obtain some of them, but it's a long road...
 
My to be read list a Word document several pages long. I'll put a couple of them here though..

The Life of Pi: Yann Martel
Montana 1948: Larry Watson
Lucky You: Carl Hiassen
Lord of the Flies: William Golding
The Kite Runner: Khaled Hosseini
Fahrenheit 451: Ray Bradbury

City of Falling Angels: John Berendt

That is just part of my list. Though once I actually get into the store there are usually other things I will find while I'm there. :D
 
wow, thousands? i haen't numbered mine, but i have some more titles i forgot to add, so mine is probably, like,, 200! there are just so many good books!

two of you mentioned the 3 musketeers. i've read the three musketters and it's grat, rad it soon! i also suggest the count of monte cristo by the same author, it's a wonderful book!

i know one of you mentioned the hitchhiker's guide, i've read the first 3 books in that series, afterwards it gets kinda boring..

i'd have to say i agree with some other books you guys have and i should add them to my list!
 
I haven't tried to make a list. I feel that if I do, I'd have to follow it. I never know what I might feel like reading. So I try to keep it more a mystery when I go searching through my piles of books.

But I've seen some interesting ones posted that I might check out.
 
i didn't try to make a list, but there are just so many books i wwant to read that if i dont' keep them in a list i won't remember them, and if i didn't read them i;d probably miss out on a lot!

Something Wicked This Way Comes would be a good one to read. It's by Ray Bradbury right? I also wouldn't mind trying Eldest. That's a series right??
