I haven't done very well with this list...but then YA literature has never been my thing, not even when I was a YA.
Only 9. The Book Thief is on my TBR list.
I've read Harry Potter & the Socerer's Stone; The Outsiders; Little Women; The Catcher in the Rye; Ender's Game; Pride & Prejudice; The Westing Game (but only because I have a son and read that to him when he was younger...); Lord of the Flies; and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.
I did a list like yours! I read a ton of these books and there are so many on here that I want to still read! http://theramblingsofabookaddict.blogspot.com/2010/08/top-100-ya-novels-2010.html

Thanks for dropping by during the hop!
Oh, that's a great list. And of course The Hunger Games is listed as number one! I've read a good portion of that list, but I still have a long way to go.
I've only read about 11. YA isn't my favorite genre though.
Wow. I read 71 of those books!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I just had a look at your 300 follower giveaway and I have a question:
When and where in Decatur will they be having a book festival? I live an hour south of Atlanta and I have never heard of a Book Festival in Georgia. :) I would love to go though.

I come in at a fairly respectable 22. :)

Hopping on over - maybe it's just me but I'm a little surprised that it includes Phillip Pullman, but doesn't have any C.S. Lewis or contain The Neverending Story. =(
Thanks for hopping by my blog :) I've read 52 of those books, which certainly surprised me. I didn't think I'd read so many of them!
I've got to look through this list. I've read a few but not a whole lot of them. Some are on my tbr pile though. That should count for something!
Thanks for stopping by the Hop! I'm now a follower...I thought I was before, but it turns out I wasn't. Oops!
I love these lists; they always make me want to hit the library (as if I needed an excuse!). :-)
I've read 15 books from that list! I've read the following books: #1; #2; #13; #18; #23; #26; #28; #29; #34; #37; #38; #45; #46; #54 & #94! At least a 3rd of the books that I haven't read are on my tbr list, but still haven't got around to them, but I definitely will :)
I've read 40 of them and have around 40 more on my to read list.
I read a lot of these.
I've got my list here: http://www.madiganreads.com/2010/08/ya-top-100.html
Are you in GA? I just moved to the Atlanta area. It's been an adventure.
What a pity Decatur Book Festival is the same weekend as Dragon*Con... it's just too hard to choose between two awesome events that weekend.
I fail at this list :-)
Thanks for stopping by my page today!
I guess I better get to reading- I have a lot to make up.
Have a fab weekend

I started to count, but then got discouraged. So many great books out there I don't have enough time to read!!! Stopping by from the bloghop!
I'm read 52 of them. I do have a quite a lot on my tbr pile.
Hah, I've read 23... kind of sad! Actually, the funny part is that I read most of those 23 recently - definitely not when I was a teenager!
I haven't read many at all. Pride and Prejudice and Lord of the Flies is all. Somewhere in my house I've got a copy of Catcher in the Rye that I'm going to read when I find it.

Tossing It Out
You've GOT to read The Pigman by Paul Zindel (#99)!! I first checked that book out during an elementary school field trip to the main library, I think I was in 6th or 7th grade. I still think about that book!
I've read a fairly respectable 64, which I don't think is too bad. Great list. I agree with Jennifer, Pigman was wonderful, but then again, so were most of the others.
I read 20 of them, but some of them I read when I was actually a YA which was two decades ago. I might be ready for a reread of a few of those titles!
I'm surprised #88 was listed as YA, was that originally a YA book? I didn't realize that when I read it. Though the main character is a teenager.
Wow - I've only read 18 of them, and another dozen or so is on my "want" list - including "Hunger Games".
I am at 28 of these books. Ehh
Ive read 79 Books out of the 100 on your list.

I've read just a dozen of these books - some a long time ago.
I'm also surprised that The Curious Incident is on the list - I didn't realize it's considered YA.
Hmmm...57, not to bad. Good enough number to relate to the list, but still leaves enough to look forward to reading for the first time.
I am at 45, honestly I didn't realize I read so many until I counted. Here it's my list:

I highly recommend On the Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta and Megan Whalen Turner
