I've seen a meme on the old flist:

The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed. Well let's see.

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've only read 6 and force books upon them ;-)


Anybody know where this comes from and what this 'Big Read' is? The list is so similar to the BBC's Big Read that I assume that must be it, but some of the books are missing and some others (like the Bible) have been added, and the order's all wrong.

It might be this Big Read: http://www.neabigread.org/faq.php Although there's nowhere near 100 books on that list.
