Classics--How Many Have You Read?

This is the current “tagging” thing on Facebook. Lisa did it on her blog, and since it is book related, I thought I would too.

Here goes:

Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.

Instructions:
1) Look at the list and put an 'x' after those you have read.
2) Add a '+' to the ones you LOVE.
3) Star (*) those you plan on reading.
4) Tally your total at the bottom.
