23/37 read, a pretty respectable effort. Interesting to have two books from Astrid Lindgren and neither of them are her most famous work, Pippi Longstocking.
It's amazing how each list has it's own gifts- always some you've read, some you've been meaning to read for ages and actually have lying around the house, some you've never heard of and some that you must order online immediately never having heard of them before (oops, I did it again).

I've read 26 but there are a few here I read and didn't even like. I surely wouldn't consider them life altering. Unless they had succeeded and quenching my passion for reading which,thankfully, they did not. :)
