That 100 Books Meme

[scotica]

Being the skeptical person I am, I decided to try to find the alleged BBC list, and immediately found Kristjan Wager’s blog post with the results of his own search for the original BBC list. Unsurprisingly, he couldn’t find a BBC list of 100 books of which most people will only have read six, but there is a (rather different) BBC list of the 100

Good job -- I had some doubts about the thing, because the "only have read 6" sounded unusually cynical for the BBC.

Hi! Can I reblog this?

Not sure what you specifically mean by "reblog this", but sure, as long as whatever you do includes appropriate credits & links to me & especially my sources (since I did very little but make use of their research and indicate what I'd read).
