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.
2a) Add a '-' to the ones you'd ratherbe set on fire than have to [not] read again. (setting books on fire for any reason - but especially that you don't like them - is wrong) (Ok, maybe it would be ok if you were about to freeze to death and really needed a fire. Maybe.)
3) Star (*) those you plan on reading.
4) Tally your total at the bottom.
