33; suck it BBC
Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. (I slightly changed the rules)
Instructions:
1) Look at the list and put an 'x' by those you have read. (one point)
2) Add a '+' to the ones you LOVE. (one point)
3) Use an 'S' for ones started (only half a point)
4) Tally your total at the bottom.
