Usually Facebook notes were absurdities like 25 things you never knew about me and I remember for a while it was like a little competition to see just how unique you could make yourself sound.
besides the point.
This particular note I'm talking about was a claimed "BBC Booklist" along with the phrase/challenge: The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 book listed. How do you stack up?
I've read a good amount. But I want to be able to say I've read them all... So I'm starting with a clean slate and reading them all starting at the top of the list. Checking out Pride & Prejudice of the Harold B. Lee Library as soon as I'm done doing
