I would like to have someone on my show who has read 22 of these books. I'm going to call the show me and my 22 books.
Yours
Jeremy Kyle
Ive only read 13 of them but i have seen a few more of them in film style but that doesnt count does it?
Tiddler
Jeremy would it not be best to start small and just have someone who can actually read on your show?
perhaps clank and gordon Brown could come on together cos gordons not going to have a full diary fairly soon I suspect
Dear god, I need a life. I've read 39 of these and tried to read several more.
Your Gordon Brown is weak...and will be destroyed.
one can live in hope
Ive read 84 of them
I've read 16 of them and have at least 5 others on my bookshelf yet to read.. I also impressed myself.
You know you can download A LOT Of those books from gutenberg.org for free. Yes, I know that's not as good as cuddling up with a good book, but if you're poor like me, and you like the read.....
I've read 54 of the books on that list. I feel ashamed I haven't read more.

i've read a lot of them, but dislike how some authors have everything they've written or a series lumped as one and others don't. i can't figure out why this annoys me, but it's not important anyway i guess.
jilly
I've read 22, which isnt bad. A lot more on there I want to read and 2 i've half heartedly started.
I keep telling you to read 56. 19 is pretty good too
44 of them and I didn't count the Bible.
i agree, 19 was good.
84 is impressive.
84 is impressive.
I think 19 is a marmite book people seem to love it or hate it,Its not one Ive read. I was suprised by how many of them I had read
