100 most popular books - BBC poll

There's a game on facebook to see how many of 100 selected titles each individual would have read. The game claims that most people wouldn't have read more than 6 of those. Intrigued, I did some research on BBC. Turns out, the original list featured on BBC's site is quite different AND it's basically the 100 most popular books as polled by BBC readers... 

So let's play this game with the original list.
