I came across this list yesterday and I’m ashamed to say I’ve only read about 15 and most of them are the Roald Dhal books and Harry Potter Blush I’ve obviously read more than 15 books in my life but they just don’t appear on this list! I’m making a conscious effort to read more classics this year.

Ah, I totally misunderstood the origin of this list and now my HP related astonishment abates!

@StrictlyAFemaleFemale
It was voted for by the public. In 2003.

Ahhhhhh ‘the great British public’ voted - that explains it.

I guess I'm not as well-read as I thought.

17 from the list. I really enjoy reading but I guess my choices aren't very popular Grin

23 including roald Dahl and AA Milne. Only read one Harry potter, I think I'm going to start them as I love the films. Never read Jacqueline Wilson (too old). I think the only book on the list I actually love is to kill a mockingbird.

Read 60. Quite a mix on that list.
