Books

Go here and here for context, then discuss the idiosyncrasy of such lists. There are books there I have not touched, but I have read equally long and boring ones by the same authors. I have read parts of some, or kids/abridged versions of others. Here are those I read from beginning to end in original, unabridged versions:

2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien
4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling

16 The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien
18 Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger
