25 for me too. I feel as if I should have read more of them, but the idea of trying to read Ayn Rand's or Herman Melville's first novel just makes me want to take a nap.
More of some of them than I care to. And, of course, it's cute to refer to Lee's first book...as well as off-point to not credit NORTHANGER ABBEY as Austen's first completed novel, we understand...even if last published through no fault of her own.
And I'm surprised you didn't bail, as I did, on the likes of BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY. Or ANTHEM, for that matter (I started skimming 20pp in, and eventually gave that up).

TYPEE is one of those I've read, and it's about as different from MOBY DICK as it can be. You'd probably enjoy it.
Oops, only four or five.
Well, at least I beat Tom. Ten for me.

I'd get credit for that one, too.
41 for me. And many of these books hold zero interest for me.
George, I'm surprised you haven't read all of them.

Oh, I forgot, they think WE, THE LIVING is Rand's first novel. Wonder what they think Plath's second one is.
I never started ANTHEM or WE, THE LIVING. I did make it all the way through BRIGHT LIGHTS, though.
Ten, and of the ones I didn't read I wouldn't bother with many of those authors anyway.
