100 Books Every Child Should Read

The Telegraph has published an article called 100 Books Every Child Should Read. In true blogger fashion, I thought it'd be fun to see how many of them I have read. Sadly, I didn't do very well, only having read 19 of the 100 listed. It did inspire me to put several of them on The Big List (an ongoing list of books I want to read "someday".)

The list is divided into three sections- the Early Years, the Middle Years, and Early Teens. Their list has very brief description of each book, I'm just reposting the titles.

Italicized titles are the ones I've read.
