I don't know how the list got modified, but this apparently is the original.
"BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up?"
If I'm able to count at this late hour, then my tally is 55.
Which is my favorite? I think "Dune" is the greatest book ever written (that I've read). That doesn't mean I leave the house without a towel...
