Here is my tentative (and slightly overwhelming) 1-15 list:
1. Farewell to Arms- Hemingway
2. Days and Nights of Love and War-Galeano
3. 100 Years of Solitude-Marquez
4. The Unbearable Lightness of Being-Kundera
5. Everything is Illuminated-Safran Foer
6. Jane Eyre-Brontë
7. To the Lighthouse-Woolf
8. The Autograph Man-Smith
9. Out of Africa- Dineson
10. East of Eden- Steinbeck
11. A Wrinkle in Time- L'Engle
12. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest- Kesey
13. Ethan Frome- Wharton
14. Treasure Island- Stevenson
15. The Brothers Karamazov- Dostoevsky

WELCOME!~!
And I don't think it's how many books you read but just that you do and enjoy yourself while doing so.
Do you mind if I borrow your TBR listing? Seems much more fascinating that the one I have running right now. I have read 6 or 7 of them but it's been about 40 years ago so I don't think that will count, do you? Excuse me while I pop over and check out your library. I will talk atcha later and again welcome to a great group,
