Has anybody heard of the BBC book list? It is a list of books that BBC deemed 'must reads' by getting people to nominate books and vote. There are 100 books on the list, and they estimate that most people have only read 6 of them.
I have read 17, which is actually less than I thought, but I have seen blogs of people who have read half or more of them.
I think I'm going to try and read them all. Does that sound like a crazy goal? It kinda does to me, but I think it would be super fun. Maybe even this summer! 83 books in 2 months?
No problem!
It will give me something to blog about, anyways.
So, this week I am starting Wuthering Heights, by Emile Bronte. I figure I will start at the top and work my way through all the books I haven't read one by one, and if any of them are too painful, I can come back to them. Sound good?

I have read 23 of them, so I'm not that far ahead of you. I expected more classics and was surprised by more contemporary stuff like Harry Potter...but it is awfully fun to have a booklist to work through!! Happy reading!!
