Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.
Instructions:
1) Look at the list and put an ‘x’ after those you have read ENTIRELY
2) Add a ‘+’ to the ones you LOVE.
3) Star (*) those you plan on reading.
4) Tally your total at the bottom.

You may notice that #13 is missing. It is “The Complete Works of William Shakesphere.” I accidentally deleted it and could not reproduce the formatting of the list when I added it back in. I have not read the complete works, nor do I plan to.

I have read 35 of 100, for a .350 average. If I was a baseball player, I would be in the Hall of Fame.
