The additions seem a bit pointless, but there are lots of titles here that are probably worth a look at. Since most of you seem to be keen on finding new books, I thought this would be a good thing to post.
Everything quoted from this person's devart (save the xs, those have been changed):
The BBC believes the majority of people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.
Instructions: Look at the list and put an ‘x’ after those you have read.
