I’ve only read 15 of them.
I agree though most of them were some of my favorite reads. The only 2 I wouldn’t agree with are Educated and Where The Crawdads Sing.
Edited - actually I’ve read 20 (I didn’t scroll all the way down)

Bravo 👏🏻
I’ve read 25 of them, surprisingly since many times when I look at these “top book” lists, I’ve usually read only a few. Most of the 25 books I did read from this list we’re at least 4 stars; some 5 stars.

Hmmm. 4.
Was at one until they got to Marley and Me and then the young adult fiction category. Thank goodness for YA fiction! Helps me keep up with my students and not appear to dislike reading as much as I do 😂

LOL. I love that Harry Potter is now listed as a classic with the likes of 1984 and To Kill a Mockingbird. I’ve read 20.

26. I like they they cross different genres. There are several on the list that have been on my TBR list, but not made it to the top. There are a few I have no interest in reading.

I’ve read exactly half. And while I enjoyed the ones I read, only about half would earn five stars from me.

I’ve read 24. I wouldn’t give 5 stars to all of them though.

I've read 16 of them. Some I agree with, one I would struggle to give it one star. Some of them I have copies of but haven't gotten to yet.

I've read about 1/3 of them. But I've seen I've seen the movie version of about 6 of them. Band of Brothers was awesome as a mini-series.

16, mostly would give them high ratings. With the exception of Where The Crawdads Sing. I couldn't even finish it. I don't get the hype.

There are some really good books on the list! I've read 18 of them and have 4 downloaded on my kindle already just waiting for me.

I've read 18. Most of them I'd give high marks -- at the very least they stayed with me. I like that the list spans multiple categories.

I've read 14 and have many of them on my TBR list. I didn't give them all 5 stars but I liked most of them.

Well, I am feeling better about my reading. I have read 20 of the books but several of the unread are already in my bookshelf to read and others added to my list.
Now I have also seen 25 movies based on the book. Maybe 26 if you count that the last HP was split into 2 movies. And I have seen Les Mis 3 times as the theatrical production. And the last two movie renditions.

I’ve read 29 of them and have a few more on my to-read list. Most of the ones on the list that I’ve read were 4-5 stars for me. The sci-fi category didn’t interest me and neither did most of the nonfiction. I do like nonfiction but mostly memoirs.

I've only read 17, mostly because a lot of them are in genres I don't enjoy. I've added a few to my to-read list, though.

I’ve read 22 of them and own about 10 of the ones I didn’t read yet. I hope to surpass my goodreads challenge this year with those books.
Good list but I agree not all of them were five stars for me either. All the Light We Cannot See in ebook for is on sale right now. I’m debating on whether or not I want to own it or if reading it once was good enough.

I've read 27 - well technically 26.5, but I suffered through enough of 1776 to count it.

What a great list! I have read 24. All of them are either 4 or 5 stars, IMO.

Great list! I read 18, saw the movie or tv show for another 5-6. I’ve heard of most, if not all of them. Some of them are on my to read list. Of those ones I read, I would give them 4-5 stars. The only one that I did not like was the Book Thief, but I know I’m in the minority on that one.

I didn't count but I've read many many of them, which tells me she too likes a Kindle Deal of the Day. And that doesn't always mean it's a good book.
Most of these were ok reads for me but not exactly life-changing. Some of them I never finished. Some were good.

I’ve only read 10 on the list, which surprises me, since I’m an avid reader. I have read other books by authors that are on the list, just not the ones actually listed. I have added some to my “to read” list.

I've read about 1/2 of the list and have another 1/4 of the list on my bookcase when I get around to reading them...
Some of the one's on the list were not my favorite: Band of Brothers was sooo incredibly dry (But I loved the miniseries), Ask Again Yes I dnf'ed after reading 2/3 of it last year...
I might give Daisy Jones and the Six another try (I didn't get very far) maybe if I listened to it I could keep the characters straight.

That's a weird list.
That's all I'm gonna say about that.
