Amy at the Quiet Rebel Writer posted recently about an interesting list of books – you’ll see straight away that this is perfect for me because I love lists and I love books. The list she’s talking about is from the National Endowment for the Arts in the United States, and it’s a list of 100 novels.
The scary statistic is that most adults (I’m presuming this statistic is from the US) have only read six of the books from the list. The good news is that I’ve read 61 of them and by coincidence, have 2 more of them half-read on my bedside table.
Amy’s instructions were to do the following things with this list:
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 on your own blog.
Here’s my version of the list; feel free to borrow it for your own blog, but let me know if you do so I can check out what reading history we have in common. I’m curious!
