Britain's Favourite 100 Books - a BBC Poll

[gsmoove23]

19, unfortunately 4 of those were Harry Potter books and one was um, Black Beauty.

[Immortal Wombat]

32. Two more from that list on my immediate "to read" list (as in have them from the library right now)

[Mercator]

Only 7... Some 20 more that I'd like to read.

[Japher]

29! I didn't think I have read that many books! I need to slow down and watch more tv

[Arrian]

[OPD]

17.

But some of them I've read more than once. Including these extra reads I have 48,596.

[Ramo]

I counted twenty.

And none of them included Harry Potter.

[Japher]

Harry Potter are great books!

[Drogue]

Wohoo Hitch Hikers Guide got in I tried to get people to vote for that, easily the best

33, far more than I thought, I'm no big reader. I really don't like Pratchett either, but I happen to have read a couple that were up there. I still refuse to read Harry Potter
