I saw this on Hugo’s blog, and thought I should have a look. The list is not repeated here, as I am one of those people causing the average to be down at six. Only one book on that list was read out of choice, and that was Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy. The other few were required reading at school.
There exists in me no inclination to read the others. If I am going to sit down and read, which does happen, then it will have to be something that educates me, not just entertaining, to make the effort worthwhile.
