[Meme] Big Read book list

The Big Read thinks that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've only read 6 and force books upon them ;-)


(I am interpreting LOVE to mean LOVE, not LIKE. If I'd gone with LIKE, I'd have underlined a lot more books. As it is, you'll notice that I leaned heavily toward children's books, which sank their hooks into me before I had much cycnicism or skill at literary analysis to shelter me from their effects.)


( I have read 45 out of 100, though I think their counting is odd )
