Dear reader,

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.

2) Star (*) those you plan on reading.

3) Hash (#) those you haven't finished reading.

4) Tally your total at the bottom.

I have marked mine in the brackets provided.

5) Leave a comment if you wish re your totals or if you wish, you can begin a topic for discussion on any of the books.

Have fun and have a nice day!!!

cheers
