Lists are so subjective....

In the latest list of 100 books you should read, I've only finished 35 of them. Most of them I didn't care for. Like Catcher in the Rye. I didn't get it. And The Grapes of Wrath was sooooo long.
Some of them were required reading in school and some of them I read after seeing the movie ~ the books are always better :-) I'm also willing to admit that of the ones I haven't read, I have no intention of getting to at least 1/2 of them.
