Being Curious, How well read are you?
#1
Saw this on a friends blog today and thought this was kinda cool. I have read 84 of these 100 books. But thats not to say I made it to the last page. How many of these books have you read? You dont have to put the x beside them as I did, just tell the number.
The BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.
How do your reading habits stack up?

I've read 65 at least once, many several times, Wuthering Heights is my favourite book of all time and I can quote large chunks from memory - so much so that when we were watching a film adaptation (a pretty accurate one, generally) the other week, I drove DH up the wall - Heathcliff didn't say THAT, he said... Cathy actually said....!!! And so on! After he complained, I restricted myself to occasional derisive snorts!
You can bump my total up to 67 if I can include parts of the Bible and some of the works of Shakespeare - King Lear is my favourite. I love reading and can read really fast - I like trash as well as classics, I'm not picky! I read an entire Dean Koontz on the ferry back from England (5 hours, but we had a meal as well). I read Kane and Abel - nearly 5 inches thick - in a day! People say I must skip read, but I don't!
