My sister has read 60 of the 100. And I've read 68. I must admit, though, there at least a dozen of those I've marked as "not read" that I've started - some of them multiple times, at that, but just have not finished. Most of those I will get to at some point.
Oh, and BTW - Y's with asterisks indicate I read the novel in French.
