BBC 100 böcker

För ett par år sedan, tror jag, lät BBC folk rösta fram de hundra bästa böckerna. Sedan har detta förvanskats till 100 böcker alla borde läsa med tillägget att gemene man bara har läst ungefär fem av dem.

Förra året fyllde jag i listan. Jag tänkte göra det i år igen för att se om det hade förändrats. Så här går det till:

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
