Barely ever do these...

So I feel fairly accomplished, and I didn't bother with those I Love. I just wanted to see how many I had read. And if I put (*) it means I own it and plan to read it one of these days.

Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.

Instructions:
a) Look at the list and put an (x) after those you have read.
b) Add a (+) to the ones you LOVE.
c) Star (*) those you plan on reading.
d) Put a ($) next to any you are currently reading.
e) Tally your total at the bottom.
