Am I highbrow having read 59 of these? I feel there is an inordinate amount of modern crappy fiction in this list. Why isn`t Beowulf on it?!

I think it was a list done by the BBC...or so my friend pages tell me. Maybe they were picked by readers and that`s why the random and stupid inclusion of things like the Da Vinci Code. *shudders*

[shirochan]

You don't like the Da Vinci code? XD

Uwa.. I don't think I've read most of these. *stares at list*

[aranelcharis]

I don`t like Da Vinci code, no...when my mom says it`s bad writing, I know to stay away...

I have read 26, not counting several I was forced to read at school but have largely forgotten. And I take pride in my claim that I can never remember which of Jane Eyre and Jane Austen is real and which is the fictional character....

The Time Traveller's Wife is not the first book I started reading under the impression it was SF, only to discover to my horror that it was Literature, but exceptional in that I finished it anyway.

I think Charlotte's Web should have an '18' certificate, much more traumatic for children than most 'adult' stuff.

This reminded me of us playing the Ignorance game in our house all these years ago. :)

Yes, I thought of that too immediately! ;)

[aranelcharis]

Indeed. It doesn't feel very long ago at all. :D

You were missed at the banquet yesterday :-)

It looked like everyone had a fantastic time! I wish I could`ve been there.
