Ik kwam vandaag dit tegen op Facebook:

Have you read more than 6 of these books? The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here.

Interessant.  Waarom deze honderd boeken?  Ik zou er bijvoorbeeld nooit aan denken om “The Da Vinci Code” te lezen, omdat ik dat een beetje de Babysittersclub voor volwassenen vind.  Pakweg een Hunter S. Thompson is er niet in te vinden, en zo lijk ik natuurlijk niet erg belezen. Verder ook een behoorlijk groot deel Jane Austen-boeken in de lijst, fans van deze schrijver zitten natuurlijk erg gemakkelijk aan zes!

“The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” wordt dan weer uit de vreselijke Chronicles of Narnia-serie gehaald, net als “Hamlet” uit de werken van Shakespeare.  Ik heb dus mijn twijfels over de echtheid van deze lijst, maar ach, here we go.
