That's What You Think Reading Challenge hosted by Blethering About Books

Challenge Details:

• Timeline: ??  Jan 1, 2012 - Dec 31, 2012
• From the host site: You may remember a few years ago that the BBC published a list of 100 books that they believed the majority of us have only read 6 off - personally I think that the list is a little off as there are whole collections (e.g. The Complete Works of Shakespeare) listed and then individual works from the collection listed (obviously Hamlet isn't part of the Complete Works of Shakespeare :/). I for 1 hate being told what is expected of me (when it comes to this kind of thing) and slotted into a nice little box.
