I found this list online, so I was curious as to how many I have read. I have read 32 books out of the 100. I know that that is not good odds, but hey, it’s not bad for being only 17 years old. Plus, I definitely plan on reading more. Apparently though, The BBC believes that most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here. Despite that it shows my nerdiness, I am extremely proud of my 32 books that I have read! The books in bold, represent the books that I have read.
