Het is gelijk dat het weer het jaar 2002 is, met lijstjes en alles.

Have you read more than 6 of these books? The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books listed here.

• Bold those books you’ve read in their entirety.
• Italicize the ones you started but didn’t finish or read only an excerpt.

Voor meer dan tekst bold en italic zetten, heb ik vandaag geen energie. Ziek zijn suckt ezelkloten, serieus.
