Books You Can't Live Without

This list of 100 books has been going around the Internet for a while under the false premise that it is a list compiled by the BBC and that the BBC claims the average adult will have read only 6 of the 100. According to this commentator, however, the list originates with a World Book Day poll. Here's the version of the list as it appeared in the UK's Guardian newspaper. The 6 out of 100 statistic appears to be entirely apocryphal.

I've marked each books with an (x) if I've read it and with an (m) if I've seen the movie. Books marked with (x) and (m) mean I've read the book and seen the movie. I think I counted 44 x's by the time I was done. I guess I've got some reading to do.
