Here’s how it works:
The Big Read says that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they’ve printed.
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Make the ones you loved obnoxiously large
4) Reprint this list so we can try and track down these people who’ve read only 6 or less and make them read.
And now….. THE BIG READ TOP 100

Merry I must confess I have only read 5 completely through and about 4 more partly. Sorry, but they just don't seem to grab my attention.
