The book list....

I'm always a little embarrassed by these book lists because I really haven't read many classics - I've seen film versions and/or I've read excerpts, but actually read through the whole thing? Not a lot. I try. I really do. But authors like Austen, Dickens, Hardy - they take a long time. I never had time in school because I'm a slowish reader (I love language too much to rush) and I always had to give up in order to read my school assignments. (Also, I note this is a British list, but where's Mark Twain?)

However. In honour of the day, ( here's the list. )

Thirty-one out of 100, not counting the ones I've tried to read and either lost interest or had to give up or whatever. And a bunch more that are O_O inspiring. (The DaVinci Code!? Really??)

But counting ones that I at least know the Cliff's Notes version....71. More respectable, anyway.
