The BBC thinks we might be a bit daft.

So my cousin sent me a survey on facebook about how well read we are and how our education stacks up against that of years past. It’s interesting, and I brought in an interesting number of reads! I really enjoyed doing this one and was a bit surprised at how well I did! How did you stack up?

The BBC believes most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up?
