Re: 50 Books to Read Before You Die
In order of how much I liked them
There's a few that I've tried to read before but just couldn't get through, like Catch-22.

Rowling Huckelberry Finn by Mark Twain The Bible by Various I'm in the process of reading: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte (started and still haven't finished...I got the Cliff Notes just to help me understand what in the world was going on) Lord of the Flies by William Golding (started and my darling puppy ripped my copy to shreds) Catch 22 by Joseph Heller (heh, started this today)

All of them are fictions and mostly thrillers. I highly recommend each and every one of them. It is highly entertaining and is highly informative.

Re: 50 Books to Read Before You Die
That's as much as I have read. Though there's a couple books on the list I have always wanted to read, but I haven't done it yet. I have to say, I don't agree with the list when it comes to some books.

Also, White Teeth and On Beauty by Zadie Smith should have been on here. As well as reading the Bible, everyone should also read the Holy Qur'an.
