Books!!

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

I have bolded the ones that I have read all the way through. I have read 59 of these bad boys! And some of them I have read over and over, one of my all time favorite books ever is on this list!
