I've read 5 of them.
I've read 11 of them and am reading a twelfth. I'm more than twice the woman you are!
(Maybe 12, going on 13. I can't remember whether I read The Diary of Anne Frank. I'm sure I must have.)
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I think I've read 15, maybe 20 if you include "started and subsequently abandoned." I'm terribly weak on 20th-century fiction, and worse on 21st.

If you have not read Fun Home, I highly recommend it, whatever your gender.

Art Crawl!!!
Okay, I included the Shirley Jackson among those I have read - even though I may have only read "The Lottery."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I've read 31, but there are about 20 more that I am not sure if I actually read, or just know a lot about them.

Oh, then I'm at, like, 12.1.

My mind is sort of boggling that there are that many books on a single list that I am unsure if I read. I did read MANY books in college, and as I was an English major who took classes in mainly 19th and 20th century lit and women's literature, I have at least been exposed to almost every single title.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I read 24 or so. I think Atwood's Cat's Eye should defintely be on there and it isn't so I am rounding myself up to 25.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I've read somewhere between 15-20 of them. I'm not sure if I finished all of them. I have quite a few more unread on my shelves. Many of the ones I read were for class.

Fun Home was indeed awesome, in a completely gutting and heartbreaking sort of way.
