This is a list of 100 books which has been widely circulated on the Internet with the tagline "The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books on this list. How many have you read?"However, this list was *not* created or endorsed by the BBC. A history of this internet meme is here: http://www.purplecar.net/2009/03/how-... The list bears some similarities to the BBC Big Read list from 2003 ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/top... and available on Listopia here https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2... ) which was based upon a UK public vote. This fake list contains a number of titles which were not on the original list - eg the Bible, the complete works of Shakespeare (the BBC Big Read was a search for the UK's most popular novels and did not include plays), the Da Vinci Code, The Five People You a Meet in Heaven etc.
