For literature's sake!

I found this list on my Secret Pal's blog: Identity: Yvonne! Yayyyy!!!!

Turns out, the BBC figures 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. (I added a - sign for the ones I didn't like)
3) Star (*) those you plan on reading.
4) Tally your total.
