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) Strike out the books you have no intention of ever reading, or were forced to read at school and hated.
5) 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.

( List under the cut. )



Methinks I should be watching a bit less Doctor Who and reading a bit more classic literature.

And? If I'm somewhat embarrassed by how few of these I've read, it absolutely blows my mind that the average adult has only read SIX of these! I think there are at least six books on this list that every child should have read by the age of ten, and another six or so that are best read (the first time, I mean) between the ages of ten and fourteen. Adults have no excuse.
