I've only read about thirty books on each list, but I think I enjoy the US version of the list better. My favourite books as a kid were Robinson Crusoe, Heidi, and Black Beauty.

This is an interesting article I was reading today about book lists. I don't think I'll ever read any Austen or Bronte. Here is a list of books that I am considering working through, as I have not read a very geographically diverse range of authors. One of my goals for the next six months is to double my reading, and read more widely. I just culled my beautiful book collection, and I have a lot of credit at multiple secondhand book stores, and I work at a library, so I'm good to go.
