45 which is surprising. I didn't expect to have so many read. I am going to go ahead and give a lot of credit to being made to read a number of these in various English classes. There are others on here I would like to get to (Invisible Man has been sitting in my pile of books for awhile now. And of course Franzen...) and then those that I'm not exactly clamoring for (50 Shades just...I already read Twilight so that should count).
So there you go. How'd you do?
