Etter å ha gått gjennom listen ser jeg at jeg havner på 23 bøker. Det er et stykke fra 100, men det er mer enn 6, så alt i alt er jeg ganske fornøyd. En bok for hvert år jeg har levd. Men hvis jeg teller med bøker jeg eier og har planer om å lese kommer jeg opp i 53 bøker. Det får bli målet - alle 100 blir nok ikke lest..
