50 books to read before you die

There are many lists of must reads and I just loves checking how many I actually read :D

I never understood the hype with 1984. Didn't care for it. I was also not a big fan of Frankenstein. Maybe I'll try the Grimly version someday.

[virgelflores]

The Count of Monte Cristo is a masterpiece

[ellievisionBeauty]

i had to pause this just to say please read 1984 and lord of the flies. i haven't seen the films so i have no idea how bad they are but those books are AMAZING.

I loved The Count of Monte Cristo. My copy is 618 pages, but the text ia very tiny. It took me a couple of months to finish it, but I finally finished it. I fell in love with the book. I may reread it.

If I'm not mistaken, The outsider and The stranger are the same book. Just different translations.

Everybody seems to love Brave New World, but I hated it! However, you do need to drop everything, get you hat and coat and go and buy yourself a copy of Rebecca!
Then watch the 1940 Hitchcock film with Joan Fontaine. Go, now!

wuthering heights is just the greatest

[nillyk]

The Diary of Anna Frank is really entertaining contrary to what you might think.

[MusicawROteAcROssDeeOceana]

Women of Brewster's Place, Little Women, and Pride and Prejudice. Good reads good movies.

One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest is a great book. You should finish it. I loved it, although the ending kind of frustrated me, although I guess I had seen that coming the whole time...

Hi.Thank you very much. You explained the books sincerely and honestly. Most of the books are beautiful and well worth reading. Again, many thanks ❤❤

Somebody probably already mentioned that the Outsider is the same as the Stranger. I loved reading it as a teenager and now in my 50s, I did the audio in English while reading the French original. Love Camus!

I'm sure someone has already commented on this but Camus' The Outsider and The Stranger are the same book :) Simply two different ways the title has been translated from the French title L'etranger

Here you can keep track of what you read from all those lists :D 

I haven't read most of the classic novels, so I'm always kind of bad in those lists. But I definitely want to read more of them.

[BookBunnys]

The Count of Monte Cristo is an amazing book and you definitely should read the whole story!! It is really rewarding at the end :)

[cagedtigersteve]

You should you read the Count of the Monte Cristo.

I did not count them, but I was surprised to find out that I read quite a bit of what you had just shown.

[browngirlreading]

23 read and about 5 I'd like to read. I always have a problem with these lists because they are too centralised on one kind of author. Cool to see how many have been read though. It's uplifting and makes the ever long TBR list easier to swallow.

[RamblingsOfAnElfpire]

If you ever get a copy of Canterbury Tales I'd love to do a buddy read! I own the Oxford World Classics translation and I'm really interested in reading it =) 

[niggeling]

Nothing from Nabokov? Lolita? Pale Fire? Ada or Ardor?
