Book meme wot I have gacked from
loreley_se
The BBC thinks you will have read 6 of the books on this list. It is such a strange list, I can't begin to guess why they think that. Copy and paste your bolded books read, italicized books not completed, and then sum up with a head count, so to speak.
( under the cut )
Read in entirety: 50.
Read in part: 9.
You can really see my dislike of Dickens :D
It *is* a weird list. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is effectively on there twice (once as itself, and once as part of the Chronicles of Narnia) and so is Hamlet (once as part of Shakespeare's complete works). There are a few on there I've never heard of, but it's either a US- or UK- centric list and here you could probably substitute one of the Australian classics (or Australian high school forced reads!) like My Brilliant Career or Tirra Lirra by the River or Monkey Grip or Seven Little Australians or... etc etc.
