How Well Read Are You - American Literature Version

I thought it would be interesting to see how well read I was in American Literature so I combined a few top 100 lists of books pulling out the American authors. I'm posting several of these lists on my site. I tried to compile books that appeared on multiple lists (My Antonia, A Farewell to Arms, etc.) as well as put in a few Pultizer Prize winners that are a little more rare (So Big by Edna Ferber). How well read do you think you are?

Look at the list and put an 'x' after those you have read. I saw that some are putting an M for movies they've watched so I'm adding that in!
