WE STARTED passing this around Matador Editorial today: 100 books of which the BBC believes most people have only read 6.
Feels a bit simplistic, to be honest, like there should be more points for Joyce’s Ulysses than Alice in Wonderland. Also, you should get more points if you read a book in its original language — for example, an extra 5 points for 100 Years of Solitude in Spanish.
Here’s the list. How did you do?
