Min skolkompis Tulsa hade hittat denna lista pâ en annan blogg. Tydligen tror de som skrivit listan att de tror att majoriteten av oss härute bara läst sex böcker på listan. Sâ för skojs skull tänkte jag kolla hur mânga jag läst?

Ja sâ jag hade läst 15 (eller 21 om man räknar HP böckerna var och en för sig) sâ inte helt illa men fler tycker jag nog att det borde vara. Fâr ta och lâna nâgra fler klassiker när jag kommer hem igen. Hoppas det finns ett bra skönlitterärt bibliotek i Uppsala, som även har ordentligt med engelska böcker. Annars blir jag ordentligt besviken. Men aja i värsta fall fâr man väl âka in till stadsbibloteket eller KG och lâna.
