The Black Hole

The Big Read thinks the average adult has only read six of the top 100 books they've printed below.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise 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.

I added strikethroughs for those I hated with a fiery passion and wouldn't touch again with a ten foot pole.

( The top 100 )

Notes:

1) I'm currently in the midst of cataloguing my parents' books and I've come across so many books that I want to read!

2) Interestingly enough, all of the strikethrough books were required reading in middle school, mostly 8th grade, but I still really loved the class.

3) My favorites were pretty much all near the top, aside from the remaining Jane Austen books and C.S. Lewis.

4) The fact that The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was separate from the rest of the Chronicles was interesting. Have more people read just The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe because of the movie?

5) I'm currently on a political non-fiction kick, so I'll get around to all the other books when the stack on my beside table dwindles a bit.
