BBC book meme

As seen over at Lecture Notes; I am in the UK after all.

Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.
Instructions (simplified):
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Add a ‘+’ to the ones you LOVE.
3) Italicize those you plan on reading.

30 is more than the expected number, but still more to read. Considering I read most of these before I turned 25 and has had more than a decade of slack after that I wonder what happened. I reckon I stopped knitting around that age as well. Ah yes, I remember; PhD school, reproduction and internet happened. Reading blogs has completely killed my persistence; if something is more than a paragraph long I lose focus. Oh no, that would be my other disorder.
