Yeah all right then.

Just to show off my shame at how little I know or care about most literature...

"The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well, let's see."

Look at the list and bold those you have read.
Italicise those you intend to read.
Underline the books you LOVE.

My total is 45 (and three quarters of the complete shakespeare, and about half the Bell Jar). Also, while I've not read A Suitable Boy, I have read An Equal Music, and while I've not read Midnight's Children I have read The Satanic Verse

What was your undergrad degree in, again?

Yeah, I don't know what was going on with the Narnia entries!

I think I may have read Swallows and Amazons, but I only remember the film, which kicked ass in a very middle-classed sort of way.

i have a shockingly low number, seeing as i did alevel english. most of the ones i should have reda are the kids ones, cause i didnt read when i was younger, beacuse that was my sister's gig.
