Books!!!

One of my friends posted this on facebook, and I wanted to see how I'd do on this list.

The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed.

The Rules:
1) Look at the list and put one * by those you have read.
2) Put a % by those you intend to read.
3) Put two ** by the books you LOVE.
4) Put # by the books you HATE.
5) Post. (Don't forget to tag me.)

I've read 28... not bad, really! Still, there are several great works on here that I should probably pick up once I'm not reading 600 pages of theology every week. If only I had more time...
