On browsing Waterstones online site while in work, forgive me, but I was in a phone queue, in which I was number 20 in the list and I needed some distraction. I saw their latest promotion, Reading The 21st Century – Discover two decades; books that have made the last twenty years and decided to see how many I had read!
Here are the ones I have read, why not take a look at the Waterstones site and see how many you have?

I’m surprised to find I’ve read 68 of these (not sure ho many there are in total). I wouldn’t have got that far if it hadn’t been for the Booker prize project and Book Club choices. Two years were complete duds for me though – 2011 and this year (so far)….
