BBC 100 Book Meme RAW List

UPDATE 02/24/2009

John S. Wilkins, the author of Evolving Thoughts pointed out that the list that was here was NOT the original BBC list.  The original list can be found here.   I have updated the area below to contain the book list as it was originally published by the BBC.  That will teach me to trust a list someone tags me with on Facebook.

Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.

Instructions:
1) Look at the list and put an ‘x’ after those you have read.
2) Add a ‘+’ to the ones you LOVE.
3) Star (*) those you plan on reading.
4) Tally your total.

How many have you read?
