I found this on Goodreads, and it’s been a while since I checked whether I’m a conformist or not 😛 so I looked at how many and which titles on the BBC literary list I’ve read. Currently I’m only 22% conformist, with ambitions of being much more so!

* Update 22 February 2013: I’ve read another four books on the list in the last eight months 🙂

Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read six of the 100 books here.

Instructions:

1) Bold the ones you’ve read

2) Add a ‘+’ to the ones you LOVE.

3) Star (*) those you plan on reading.
