I've managed only 16 but over 60 years! But all those on the list that I have read were read before the age of 40.

Four. But I did read the most useful one on the list: The Prince

I did a search for the books that I have read so far and there were none.
These are the books I have read.
Tom Sawyer
Huckleberry Finn
Moby Dick
Robinson Crusoe
Famous Five
Nancy Drew
Secret Seven
Have to say though, that I read all those before the age of 15 and then just stopped. Damn!

I believe 75% of this was in the primary and secondary school. I made some attempts to read (with limited success) the classics but it was never my sort of thing.
H Harrison
R Sheckly
U Le Guin
P Dick
S Lem
S Mrozek
Topor
I Assimov
and many more, mostly from the area of F&SF.
Before the Internet killed everything.

I've read 8 of them, if you had told me 8 years ago, I would have done the lot before 30.

Oh, yes. I remember reading one more book as a teen, which surely has to be the best book I have ever read. One thousand and one arabian nightsWd40 wrote:I did a search for the books that I have read so far and there were none.

Rightfully so, if 1Q84 is indicative of his other works. (The only book of his I've read or plan to read, now that I've finished it)v4jr4 wrote: But... but... Murakami is not in the list...
