I'm doing a bit better with this list - I think I've read 51 of them.

- Who's gonna beat me? Someone's bound to — you all are older than me and a handful of these are from genres that I haven't really jumped into.

And watching the movie counts.
OK, I'm up to 60 then. I didn't include the Bible as I'm waiting for the sequel.

I am embarrass to admit how few of the list I have read.

No need to feel embarrassed. I am sure that I am at the bottom. I think I have read 5 or maybe 6 on that list cover to cover. Excerpts from possibly a dozen.
Don’t read much in the way of literature or fiction. Although I at one time or another in my life, have read most of CS Forester’s, John LeCarre’s and Thomas Mann’s works. I recently and after many false starts, have delved into Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey/Maturin series. Great summer reading while sitting around the camp or on the deck at home. I read a lot of Burroughs, Howard and Norman pulp fiction Fantasy as a teen. In any case none of that was on the list.
Can’t begin to count the history books I have devoured over the years. A few hundred for certain.

LOL It is a good goal. I would guess that many of them may be translated also.
