Most of my time that I could be reading books is spent blogging. I doubt if a list of the 100 top blogs will have the same kudos.

We have a children's book of his that we read to Elijah. It's called "Where's My Cow?" and is a story within a story.<BR/><BR/>I've read 29 of the 100. Funnily enough, most of the ones I've read have been the children's books. Quite a lot on the list I own but haven't read yet (some of the Pratchetts and Hitchhiker's Guide fit here) and others I have started but didn't finish by the time I had to give them back to their rightful owners. A couple I couldn't remember if I had read them or not (Winnie the Pooh, the Dickens books) because I wasn't sure if I'd read the abridged versions or not or if I'd read the whole book.The Mummahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13142912838809073992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30988056.post-91622852938505577402008-08-14T23:31:00.000-04:002008-08-14T23:31:00.000-04:00I'll do it, but you must must must read Hitchhiker...I'll do it, but you must must must read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It is British humor at its silliest and how can you go through life without knowing that the answer to everything is 42 and why you need a towel, a babblefish, and book that reads: Don't Panic!Durward Discussionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15023629504094283860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30988056.post-53403968690969489932008-08-14T18:59:00.000-04:002008-08-14T18:59:00.000-04:00I've read 45.
