Ok ...so after the last post and several friends laughing at me for actually putting in that I would read .....War & Peace ..... and Crime & Punishment ..... I guess I never will really.
Maybe I was trying to be too highbrow ..... after all - I actually missed off a couple of my absolute favourites!
The Sword by James Herbert - I have read all of his books .... my favourite author.
The Burning Shore by Wilbur Smith - again another of my favourite authors although I have not quite read all of his.
BUT also ... maybe I was not highbrow enough ...... I missed out Shakespeare and YES I genuinely do like most of his plays and have read many - My favourite being King Lear
So - like many Lists ....sometimes you get caught up in the actual writing of them and miss the obvious items .... just going through the motion of getting to the "100" or "50" or "25" - whatever number you have set and therefore putting pressure on yourself to complete the list!
However, ...it won't stop me from doing these lists - I have my top 50 films etc and love the process ..... right - back to my "things to do" list LOL !!!
