Have you read more than 6 of these books? The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here.

NOTE: There are a few series listed on the list. Rather than having the entire series count as one book, I’ve broken them down. As such, this list will be longer than 100.

A Few Missing Titles (from series) — 1 year ago

There is one more book in the Narnia Chronicles – “The Last Battle.” Also, Anne of Green Gables is just the first in a series of eight books. There is “Anne of Avonlea,” “Anne of the Island,” “Anne of Windy Poplars,” “Anne’s House of Dreams,” “Anne of Ingleside,” “Rainbow Valley,” and “Rilla of Ingleside.”


65 — 1 year ago

I suppose I am not “most people”, as I have managed to read 65. The rest are on my ever-growing to read list.

Can you post a link to a BBC webpage for this? I can’t seem to find it. I just find various blogs talking about it.
