Books I have read

Not sure if I'll lose my answers if I go back (it wouldn't paste into the reply section) to see who posted this first but here is my list marked of which ones I have read - definitely more than 6.

 

 

The BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up?
I have marked with an 'x' all the books I have read from the BBC book list....copy and paste the list into your Blog and mark how many you have read.....and let them see they are so wrong!!
