The Harry Potter series is more than one book, and the overall page count for the series is huge. I think if you read even one of them, it should count as full credit. Besides, Harry Potter is not exactly a classic deserving of inclusion with Dickens. In fact, why is Harry Potter number 4 on this list? Is the BBC seriously trying to imply that it's the 4th most important piece of literature, and should be read by all good Englishmen?

I've read exactly six (but started and left unfinished many more) of those, I'm a huge reader but I could only pick another couple from the list that interest me.

are they in order of anything? not sure.

I've assiduously avoided reading much of the 19 century and early 20th century "literature" as being too snoozy. Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice--none of that. Had to read Great Expectations THREE TIMES in school. Only counted it once though.

43, I think. Currently reading GWTW. There are several more I staerted and gave up on. I read many of them because in the 80s The Times or The Telegraph produced a list of the 100 books every high schooler (or some such) should have read and I took it as a challenge. many of those books are also on this list.

I have read much shakespeare, but not the complete works, so I didn't count that. i have read the Bible (Good News version)

32 of them for me. If I was counting ones I'd started but never finished, or collections I'd read some/most of, such as the Complete Works of Shakespeare, it'd b closer to 40.

43.

I won't read books about little kids running around in otherworlds, so those are out.

I actually just finally read The Bell Jar.

Nice to see The Kite Runner and The Life of Pi. Wonderful books!

I might be wrong, but I remember this as The Big Read back when I lived in Leicester. It was nothing about a challenge, it was the Top 100 Must Reads as voted for by the British Public (who BTW have terrible taste in poetry, according to similar polls).

It also seems unlikely that the BBC would make a supposition that people had only read six - they're an inclusive rather than an exclusive broadcasting corporation.

Sorry to be a pedant, but I felt the record should be set straight.
If it was just a random book challenge I'd let it go, but as it has the BBC's name attached, it's worth picking up on.

Anyway, if it is what I think it is, I might score quite highly, because I took it as a must-read list. Haven't managed the Russians yet.

That's not boasting I am well read, that's explaining that I saw this list before and used it deliberately. Then again, I'm sure some newer books are on there... And I swear Enid Blyton wasn't, for example. Or Bridget Jones. I fear the list may at least have been tampered with, especially given some of the books have American spellings in their titles, at least one does not have an author and some have notes like "started not finished" attached....

My list for the record.

1 Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
2 The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien
3 Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
