queensthiefHeading to the beach tomorrow (woohoo) so this is a day early.
From Zero to Well Read in 100 Books - The folks at Book Riot dare to define the term "well-read" with a list of books created with these criteria: "a familiarity with the monuments of Western literature, an at least passing interest in the high-points of world literature, a willingness to experience a breadth of genres, a special interest in the work of one’s immediate culture, a desire to share in the same reading experiences of many other readers, and an emphasis on the writing of the current day."
Which titles do you agree with? Disagree? How many have you actually read?
And this next one is really interesting. NPR's 100 Best-Ever Teen Novels, which were voted on by over 75,000 people. So...part good literature, part popularity contest? You tell me.
What's cool about this site is that you can click on the titles to tally how many you have read.
Discuss!
