Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up?
Instructions:
1) Look at the list and put an ‘x’ after those you have read.
2) Tally your total at the bottom.
...or you can do what I did and change the read books to a different colour.
