Well the BBC’s top 100 books have been published, and they’re a bit disappointing.
Harry Potter’s there in abundance – surely it should be counted as one book like Lord of the Rings? Then there are books like Animal Farm which are evidently books people read at school for O Level or GCSE. And of course there are the middle class contemporary “classics” like Captain Correlli.
Mind you, I’m probably just bitter because Scoop didn’t make the cut. Mind you, I never got around to voting for it.
