Book List: How Many??

I found this and thought it was great!! How many Have you read???


"There’s a list of books going around, and the spiel is that the BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 in it. Maybe I’m not a good representative of the BBC’s “most people,” but I’m betting everyone I know has read more than 6 of these."
