I couldn't work out how to see the Top Hundred, anyone worked it out?

The full 100 is here - scroll down about 1/3 of the page.

Rather intrigued by the person commenting, citing Pride and Prejudice as an example of a book that 'lefty schools' would force one to read...

Is that 'rude' book on the list? I jumped on the bandwagon with that one, but just didn't float my boat and binned it about half way through

Ha ha just realised is teachers favourite books, would doubt very much that 'rude' one would be on there!!

I loved the Woman in White and Dickens last unfinished book, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. It's great.

I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice but having studied Jane Austen's books through A level/degree, they are all quite similar.

I suppose - are Charles Dickens' books all quite similar?

Anybody like Thomas Hardy or George Eliot? I enjoyed Silas Marner and Middlemarch. Thomas Hardy a bit depressing.

I quite like chicklit as well, far from intellectual, shallow, enjoyable. I'm probably the only member who does!

The majority of books I read will never appear on a list like this - distinct lack of vampires, demons, witches and medieval kilt wearing alpha males I am so low-brow.

I thought Wuthering Heights was brilliant.

Films don't do the book justice. Ditto Frankenstein.

I love Hardy and Elliot and Lawrence too, don't really find Hardy depressing, and I'll hold my hands up to a bit of chick lit every now and then but I don't "do" thrillers at all - they just don't float my boat!

My Favourite 3 books:

"A Thousand Splendid Suns " by Khaled Hosseini (author of "The Kite Runner").
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson (and the other books in the Millennium series trilogy).
"Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier

I know a head of English (and now an assistant head) who couldn't put the 'rude' book down.
