BBC Book list
The BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. (I totally doubt this actually came from the BBC, but then it is a British-heavy list, so perhaps... still, an entertaining exercise and a good reminder to me to get back to the classics!)

How do your reading habits stack up? )

That's a strange list... a weird mix of classics and best-seller schlock.

And you actually got thru Ulysses? My hat's off to you! ;)

two words: Required. Reading.

Or, alternatively: Book. Report.

One of the few books I have actually hurled against a wall in frustration. I'd imagine House of Leaves would be another. God, I *LOATHE* gimmicky and cutesy modern lit.

But, ironically, Tristram Shandy made for a fantastic movie! ;)
