So, I stole this meme from
kreznick.
The BBC apparently believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here: BOLD THE ONES YOU’VE READ!
This list will probably be more surprising for what I haven't read than what I have...I know, I'm a bad English teacher...

But I can add Brave New World and Lolita to my DONE list!
Also, I must compel you to read Austen. And Atonement. You would like Atonement for all the tragedy~~~! Also, Austen is so very sensible about everything. And witty. So witty.
