101 Book Challenge

I've run this challenge for a number of years and I cross off books an an inexorably slow pace. The idea for this challenge is to paste the list onto your own blog or print it out and tack it to your wall. How many have you read? Leave a comment and compare your progress.

The books in bold books (the ones I've read) have been read in their entirety. I'm currently standing at 26/101, an awful score. I challenge any of you to claim you've read fewer.

Happy Reading!
