The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here.

Instructions: Copy this into your NOTES. Bold those books you've read in their entirety, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish or read an excerpt.

Just for fun you can post the number of books you have read on the list.....

I have read almost all...I have a Master of English so I might have the advantage!

Have Fun!
