I've read 34. (Lonely, lonely childhood + lots of forced summer reading for school)
I'd say it's important to read the bible for the same reason it's important to read Shakespeare. It helps you understand cultural references in the English speaking world. That's not to say other religious works aren't beautiful or worthy.
But anyway, this is a full-on stupid, arbitrary list.
