Ah, ha there were only 99 if you go to the other sites 26 is missing.

Woo hoo. I have read 26 of the 99 listed. Okay, I'll take off a half point for the Bible. Hey, it's a big book. Still, I am less than 50%. It looks like I have more reading to do. I have The Three Musketeers and Persuasion audiobooks ready to listen to. I just haven't finished them so I can't count them yet.
