15 of 25, if you're keeping score. So, um, I had to read the same books in school as other people, is what I think this list means.

* Via Bilal Dardai. Bilal said "50" but his list had 45, and the current What Should I Read Next? list has 25. So I went with the current list. (I was 30/45 on Bilal's list -- lots of science fiction in the next 20.)
