I haven't read as many titles as Carole

BBC Book List - how many have you read?

Noticed this on Carole's Canvas and, as a reader, just had to take part.
Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.
How many did you read, and which ones?
Instructions:
  • Look at the list and put an ‘x’ after those you have read.
  • Add a ‘+’ to the ones you LOVE.
  • Star (*) those you plan on reading.
  • Put ? on the ones you’ve never heard of.
  • Tally your total at the bottom.
