15 and I have no immediate plan to increase the number. 25 if I count movies I saw .
Hmm... Nothing from Solzhenitsyn, Tolstoy, Victor Hugo, John le Carré, etc...
My point is that a list is just a list. There are no "best books", only many thousands of great books.
Not really understanding Amazon's criteria in selection. Have read about 25 or so, very few of the books have stuck with me or really had much to recommend them beyond bathroom stall reading matter. OTOH, when I tried to read a Harry Potter book it was just beyond me - Dr. Seuss books felt like they were written from a more adult perspective and I had more respect for that author - so maybe I'm a really poor judge of good books..
