I’m not sure if I’m smart (or not)

Okay, I saw this on one of the blogs that I read when I am killing time. I love to read, but I’ll admit that my tastes lean more towards science fiction and nonfiction. So, here we go!

Apparently the BBC says most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. Well, I’ve beaten that number.

1) Look at the list and put an ‘x’ after those you have read.
2) Add a ‘+’ to the ones you LOVE.
3) Star (*) those you plan on reading.
