The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up?

Instructions: Copy this into your NOTES. Look at the list and put a “YES” or “NO” after those you have read. Tag other book nerds.

Note: I feel this list is unfairly chick heavy, way too many entries from Jane Austen and Bronte, etc.
