"Nikola's book blog" fant jeg en liste over 100 bøker. BBC mener at de fleste bare vil ha lest 6 av bøkene på denne lista. Det var nok til å pirre min nysgjerrighet - her er lista, med mine kryss for hvilke av bøkene jeg har lest.
Jeg er ikke like god til å telle som til å lese, så det er mye mulig at jeg tar feil når jeg tror jeg har lest 60 av bøkene på denne lista. Men ikke så veldig feil, jeg har i alle fall lest over halvparten, noe som nok skyldes at jeg slukte klassikere i min ungdom.

Om jeg nå skal rote fram de uleste bøkene fra denne lista, er nok noe tvilsomt. Køen over uleste bøker i dette huset vokser fort nok helt uten hjelp fra lister. Samtidig må jeg innrømme at det å bli påminnet flere av disse bøkene nok kan komme til å friste meg til nylesing.
