BBC mener folk flest har lest 6 av disse hundre bøkene. Selv har jeg lest 36, og ligger da litt foran snittet men med mange bøker til gode. Jeg fant listen hos Moshionista som hadde lest 50 og imponerende mange av de tyngste klassikerne, hatten av til deg! Aller mest vil jeg anbefale Balansekunst av Rohinton Mistry.
