THE BBC esimates that normal people would have read six out of one hundred of these books. I would have read a lot more, but I'm only thirteen and therefore haven't been reading long enough to have read lots of them.

02 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien -- I started reading, didn't finish.
04 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling  -- I love, love love Harry Potter. Actually, I'm rereading it for about the 35th time right now. I'm on The Chamber of Secrets.
21 Gone With The Wind - Margaret Mitchell -- I got a few chapters in, said, "Screw this," and gave it back to my mom.
36 The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - CS Lewis -- Even though I checked the one above, this is the only book I've read of it, and it was so dull.
42 The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown -- I started, but then I had to give it back to my aunt, so ...
46 Anne of Green Gables - LM Montgomery -- Underlined because while I did read it, I'm almost completely sure that what I read was actually a version made for kids. It has illustrations and stuff, and it said edited by on the cover. So I guess I read it, but not the orignal version.
64 The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold -- I actually read this and I thought it was really good. The only reason I read it was because I knew Jake Abel was in the movie, and then I found out Saorsie Ronan was in the movie, and then I watched the movie on the plane to San Francisco and read the book on the way back. It turns out that Jake's only line was "FUCK YOU!" and you didn't even know it was him but good movie anyways.
71 Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens -- This one I know it was a version edited for kids; it said that in the front. I read this when I was like ... four. And it scared the living shit out of me.
87 Charlotte’s Web - EB White -- This is the first novel I'd ever read. xD I was four and four months, I know. My mom keeps repeating this story for me. For a kid, it's so ... depressing. Especially Charlotte. /just looked through it
97 The Three Musketeers - Alexandre Dumas -- I got ten pages in, said, "Screw this," and put it down. Long paragraphs. D: 
99 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Roald Dahl -- Of course I read this. Sis enjoys it much more than I do, though.

I want to try to pick up Gone With the Wind again and my mom has a copy of Pride and Prejudice somewhere. She showed it to me.

Eleven. Pretty good for a thirteen-year-old.

Now I'm gonna go on TV Tropes and waste another hour of time that I could be writing looking up these on TV Tropes. Not Harry Potter, though, that'd take me all of next week to read.

I'm over 20k now, so I deserve a break. Like, a tiny one. I'll start writing after dinner. Also, my thumb is painful because I got a bad hangnail. Seriously, it hurts to type. IT THROBS. D:
