Result:
36 out of 100! I'm pretty happy with that result, since many of these books aren't available in my country. To tell you the truth, there are several books on this list that I never have heard of!
How many of these have you read?

If you don't count each individual book in the series I've read 34 of the listed 100. If I count each book it's about 102 books (way more than I expected it to be).
You should definitely pick up the Percy Jackson series, it's WONDERFUL. I know that only the three first book are available in Swedish (which kind of sucks) but they are quite easy to find in English. I don't know what you thought about the movie, but the books are so much better :)
