I replaced numbers 36 and 98 because The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a part of Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia and Hamlet is obviously a part of Shakespeare's complete works.
Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. I've also changed the instructions.
- All books I have read are in bold
- All books in red font I love.
- All books with an asterisk I plan on reading.
- Tally of read/loved books are at the bottom.
