This is brill, and I agree with you about all the books I have read on this list. Oh, Alan Bennett, I love you so. Even if I can never remember if he has two Ts or one in his name (I did have to check).

But omg 81 books? Srsly? That's like, two a week. Even with The Uncommon Reader. Oh UNIVERSITY, I hate you for that. I have read six million history books since I arrived at this bloody place, but less than twenty fiction books. (literally. In three years. I hate this.)

PS I found you via fwf, and I like the look of things, so I'm going to friend you if that's ok?
