I've read 29 of them (not counting movie adaptations, otherwise it'd be
much, much higher) - but because there are a few clusters of books from
the same author, anyone who's a fan of Dickens, Pratchett, Austen and JK
Rowling will do well. Should have been 1 book per author.

Still, I was fairly happy to be able to tick Midnight's Children. I wonder
what the Scotland-specific results are, as I suspect I'll have done fairly
well in that.

Cheers
Martin
