Obviously I have read all the Harry Potter books!.!.!.each at least 5 times for the record!.

I have read Eragon, Eldest and Brisingr!.!.!.!.good books, he's going to be a great writer though personally I felt the series was goiing downhill!.

And I am currently reading Twilight and plan to read the rest of the series!.

And of course lots of books not on your list!.

I don't set a limit to how many books I will read in a year!.!.!. Just if I see an interesting book, I grab it and read it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, the Harry Potter books are AMAZING!.

A Tale of Two Cities, however!.!.!.!.!. Well, I don't like the language that Dickens uses, because of when his books were written!. But I love the plots of his stories!

Twilight!. What can I say!?
It's badly written!.
The values are warped!.
There is no real plot!.
There are major inconsistencies involved!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I read the Harry Potter Books and the Twilight books from your list!. I didn't like Twilight at all, but I thought Harry Potter was good!. The books I want to read from your list is A Streetcar named desire and The Notebook!. I don't really count how many books I read a year!. This year I plan to read a lot of classics and screenplays!. I really like books by George Orwell, because they are very well written and are just absolutely amazing!. I'm more into realistic type fiction books and classics!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, I haven't read any of the Harry Potter books but I know that they are very good!.
The Twilight Saga is also very good, I like the fact I can imagine that I am Bella :)
Eragon and Eldest, these are two incredible books!. I have unfortunately not read Brisingr yet, although I would have liked to!.
I heard that the Stephen King books are really amazing, although I don't read horror they do sound interesting!.
My favorite book would have to be the whole Twilight Saga, although they are not my favorite books they are my favorite from the list!.
I do not have a set amount due to school, but I would like to read a descent amount!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
