How many have you read?
The BBC estimates that most people will only read 6 books out of the 100 listed below. Take the list, bold the titles you’ve read completely and italicize the ones you only read partially (watched the movie counts as well as partial).
NB: of course the list has nothing to do with BBC, somebody just made up a click-baity title. But tag game is tag game so here's my list, as requested by @beforevenice
