En lista från BBC

Den här hittade jag hos En bok om dagen:

"BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up? Look at the list and put an ‘x’ after those you have read."

Jag beslutade mig för att utveckla listan en aning, för jag upptäckte att jag inte alls läst så många som jag trodde - men däremot har jag sett filmversionen i flera fall. Så de titlar jag har sett som film markerar jag med O.

Så, jag har läst 25½ av böckerna på listan och sett filmversionen av 27. Det hade nästan varit lite pinsamt att jag sett fler filmer än jag läst böcker, om jag inte hade varit en total filmnörd också...
