30 of them.
Who picked this list? How do Anne of Green Gables and 50 Shades of Grey get on the same list?

Ξ wondered that too. I've read 35. And if you count the complete series, then more (chronicles of Narnia for example)

22 titles. I guess that means more once HP and Narnia are individually counted.

I counted thirty-two but I've seen the movie versions of many of the others which I guess doesn't count.

Three of them. I'm not big into fiction.

I have a feeling that some of the titles listed were given more by Americans who wanted to sound literate than because they were the 'favorites' of the average contemporary American reader.

Wait... J.R.R. Tolkien, George Orwell, Lewis Carrol, Agatha Christie, C.S. Lewis Miguel de Servantes, Charles Dickens, Jonathan Swift, J.K. Rowling, Herman Melville, Oscar Wilde and so on are American reads?

Melville was American, though.
