The Big Read reckons 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) Italicize 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 read 6 and force books upon them
Statistically, I've read 34 out of 100 (which isn't really accurate, since several are series listed as single items, so that's +6 for Rowling, +2 for Pullman, +?? for Shakespeare, +5 for Lewis). Of those 34, 10 were required reading in high school or college. Interestingly, there is only one on the list that I haven't read which I definitely intend to read. There are others that I may pick up some day, but which I wouldn't say I intend to read them at this time.
