Proving BBC Wrong!

So, way back in May MovieCritic tagged me with this quite unusual tag.
Apparently BBC have made a list of classics of which they don't believe people have read more than 6!

Preposterous, I know!

So because I love proving big know-it-all institutions wrong, and because I feel a little guilty of not yet answering this tag, here it is:


                               

The Rules:
1. Be honest.
2. Put an asterisk next to the ones you have read all the way through. Put an addition sign next to the ones you have started.
3. Tag as many people as these books that you have read.
