The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well let's see.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicise those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list

I'm counting books that I read part of, but abandoned because I didn't like them. Credit or discredit me for that, your choice.

1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen (Admittedly, I had to stop because I disliked it so much. Sorry, Austen fans.)
2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien (Ok, so I didn't exactly get all the way through this one, either. But it's the thought that counts, right?)
3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling
5 To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
6 The Bible (I haven't read the whole thing. But I've read parts. Give me a break. It's more than one book.)
7 Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
8 1984 - George Orwell
9 His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
10 Great Expectations - Charles Dickens (Again, only got partway through and had to stop. Something about Dickens makes me want to burn his lit. Seriously.)
11 Little Women - Louisa M. Alcott
12 Tess of the D'Urbervilles -
13 Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
14 Complete Works of Shakespeare
15 Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier
16 The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien
17 Birdsong - Sebastian Faulks
18 Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger

20 Middlemarch - George Eliot
21 Gone With The Wind - Margaret Mitchell
22 The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
23 Bleak House - Charles Dickens

25 The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
26 Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh
27 Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
28 Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck
29 Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll (I'm fairly sure I've read this, but I can't actually remember much of it. Something about Louis Carroll is so tantalizingly creepy that I feel I should revisit it. I mean, he was suspected of being Jack the Ripper, for God's sake!)
30 The Wind in the Willows - Kenneth Grahame
31 Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy (If I feel like being depressed, this will definitely be my one-way ticket.)
32 David Copperfield - Charles Dickens
33 Chronicles of Narnia - CS Lewis
34 Emma - Jane Austen
35 Persuasion - Jane Austen
36 The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - CS Lewis (Loved this one, wouldn't touch the rest with a ten-foot pole.)

53 Cold Comfort Farm - Stella Gibbons
54 Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen
55 A Suitable Boy - Vikram Seth
56 The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon
57 A Tale Of Two Cities - Charles Dickens (Oh, the pain. Oh, the historical inaccuracy. Oh, the disgusting British 19th century soapy idealism of Dickens.)
58 Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
59 The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Mark Haddon
60 Love In The Time Of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
61 Of Mice and Men - John Steinbeck
62 Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov (Eww. Spare me your disturbing subject matter, Nabo-baby.)
63 The Secret History - Donna Tartt
64 The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold (Ack. I actually thumbed through it. But it's too disturbing for me.)
65 Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas
66 On The Road - Jack Kerouac
67 Jude the Obscure - Thomas Hardy
68 Bridget Jones's Diary - Helen Fielding (Why is this on the list? This is pure women's junk lit.)
69 Midnight's Children - Salman Rushdie
70 Moby Dick - Herman Melville
71 Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens (Love the musical. Doesn't mean I want to read the book.)
72 Dracula - Bram Stoker (Ok, so I didn't read this one in full, either. Actually, it was pretty good, I've no idea why I didn't see it through to the end.)
73 The Secret Garden - Frances Hodgson Burnett

75 Ulysses - James Joyce
76 The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath
77 Swallows and Amazons - Arthur Ransome
78 Germinal - Emile Zola (I feel I should read anything by Zola--as the Dreyfus Affair showed me, he was quite the awesome man of his day.)
79 Vanity Fair - William Makepeace Thackeray
80 Possession - AS Byatt
81 A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens
82 Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell (AAARGH. David Mitchell is way overappreciated by today's readers/reviewers. Doesn't anyone else besides me think he sucks? Black Swan Green was predictable fodder!)
83 The Color Purple - Alice Walker
84 The Remains of the Day - Kazuo Ishiguro
85 Madame Bovary - Gustave Flaubert
86 A Fine Balance - Rohinton Mistry
87 Charlotte's Web - EB White (I adore E.B. White. I would read anything by him. Although truthfully, Stewart Little is better than Charlotte's Web.
88 The Five People You Meet In Heaven - Mitch Albom
89 Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Especially The Hound of the Baskervilles. Also, the part where Holmes shoots up coke whilst Watson looks on disapprovingly is pretty smashing.)
90 The Faraway Tree Collection - Enid Blyton
91 Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad
92 The Little Prince - Antoine De Saint-Exupery (Considering I own this book in both English and French, I should have read it by now.)
