My Adventure of (Not) Getting Tagged

This is another meme that’s been circulating every-bloody-where. I have yet to be tagged on this but thought I have a bit of laugh of identifying the books which I’ve picked up over the years. Disregarding the current rules of having to print back the entire bloody collection, (last count was 470) I have taken the liberty of displaying ONLY the ones I’ve read.

001. The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien
005. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, JK Rowling
007. Winnie the Pooh, AA Milne
009. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, CS Lewis
016. The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame
022. Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone, JK Rowling
023. Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets, JK Rowling
024. Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban, JK Rowling
025. The Hobbit, JRR Tolkien
034. David Copperfield, Charles Dickens
035. Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Roald Dahl
036. Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson
039. Dune, Frank Herbert
042. Watership Down, Richard Adams0
51. The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett0
53. The Stand, Stephen King
056. The BFG, Roald Dahl
074. Matilda, Roald Dahl
089. Magician, Raymond E Feist
119. Shogun, James Clavell
128. The Hound Of The Baskervilles, Arthur Conan Doyle
132. Danny The Champion Of The World, Roald Dahl
141. All Quiet On The Western Front, Erich Maria Remarque
145. James And The Giant Peach, Roald Dahl
169. The Witches, Roald Dahl
170. Charlotte's Web, E. B. White
173. The Old Man And The Sea, Ernest Hemingway
313. The Art of War, Sun Tzu
340. Paradise Lost, John Milton
369. Ivanhoe, Walter Scott

Sports Freak said...

Thats probably more than me.. I think most of the books I used to read aren't own that list.. Are "Choose your own Adventure" books on that list?

Fiza said...

SF: heh, none of mine either, I have the entire collection of the Lone Wolf Series and they're not anywhere in that list. No, "Choose your Own Adventure" is definitely not in it.

leen: oh well, i'm all quiet on the frogging front right now, so at least there's something to blog about. =)

angel eyes: sure can do, but none of those lovey dovey, with the couple beromen2 in front ya..

Zed said...

now why didn't i think of that? cutting the list down i mean heh heh... percentage is a fraction of the truth! so 6% means nothing as compared to the number of books read eh, which is a lot =) read on!

Elina said...

Fiza said...

silent: i actually read most of it when i was a wee lad, years ago. i haven't read much since.

zed: since rowling have gone mental on poor 'arry, i was thinking of trying artemis fowl.

elina: i have no inkling of the what the plot is abt that book as i read it abt a million years ago.
