Have you read more than 6 of these books? The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here.

Instructions: Bold those books you've read in their entirety, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish and underline the ones you've seen the movies of.

What kind of books do you like?

[pyraxis]

I like crime stories too. Have you read anything by Dean Koontz? If you did, I'm curious what you think.

I don't read very much nonfiction except for architecture and interior design books.

Oooooh it's from the BBC. I read the list on shashigai's journal and thought "Bloody insular Americans, not an Aussie book on it, classic or no."

Bloody insular Brits?

What are the big fantasy or SF publishing houses in Australia? I thought Jessica Kingsley who do a lot of autism publishing were in Australia because they're the ones who do Donna Williams' books, but I just looked them up and they're in the UK. So that means I don't know any Australian publishers. :(

It's ok, I found it. New things to read. :D

I've read thirty-two :) Can't bold/italcise, cos you have already bolded and italicised yours

Hi Walkie! Actually I looked it up and the book list doesn't even come from an article on how many books anyone's read, somebody just adapted it themselves from a "vote for your favourite books" list from 2003 and probably put all their own favourites on it.

What you can do is copy and paste the list into Notepad, which will take away all the formatting. Or if you're making a new post you can just click on the HTML tab instead of the Rich Text tab, paste it there, and then switch back to Rich Text in order to bold and italicize the things you want.

Ooooooo,

i can fill it with a hundred books i've read from end to end and you haven't! Woot!

but might not the tme be better spent in reading a good book?

hmmm, thinks so, but hang on...

might not the time be better spent in vacillating and procrastinating?

a rather more dubious proposition, for sure, bu i just had to add it for the sake of realism

*grin*

thanks!
