I thought that about this one:
The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger
I've tried to read it a billion times, but each time I get halfway, I want to stab Holden's eyes out. O_O

I am proud to say that I have read a lot of these books, though I didn't count how many. I was very pleased to see some books that deserve a lot more recognition then they get. But I was extremely disappointed to see Twilight. I mean, worst 100 I get, but really? This is sad.
I've read about 26 (there's some I'm legit not sure if I read, like some of the Tamora Pierce books) counting if I have read at least 1 book of the series.
Personally, I fail to see why House of Night is anywhere near some of the excellent books on this list. Twilight too. And some of these weren't around until after I escaped the teen years (John Green, Mortal Instruments, Divergent).
I assume, then, that at least part of the metric for judging "best"="most popular"

Oh my gosh, I can't believe the Bartimaeus Trilogy is on that. I loved that series even though it was so dark. I didn't know anyone else knew about it! I am really surprised about Howls Moving Castle. I didn't know that was a book but I really like the movie. I only got about 19 on the list but it could be more because I kinda lost count half way through because I got excited because of the series and novels listed.

The fault must partly have been in me. The bird was not to blame for his key. And of course there must be something wrong In wanting to silence any song.
I've read like 15. I dislliked some. For example, I though The Hobbit and The Giver were horrible. Hobbit was long and boring. The Giver had possibly the worst ending I've ever seen. Of course, there is some books I love, such as Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. A book that absolutely needs to be on there is Slaughterhouse-Five. It's an amazing book by one of the best offers ever to exist
