We like books. A lot. And we like lists. And we like all things British. So a few years ago, when the BBC did a "search for the nation's best-loved novel" & released their Top 100 list, Jenny & I decided to have a go at reading them all. So far I've made it to 30, with 70 to go. I'm a little nervous about War & Peace. (#20) That book is long. I've been wanting to read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (#4) ever since I watched Julie & Julia. Julie's husband quotes from it: "I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." I read Matilda (#74) about 8 million times when I was a kid. My favourite part was in the beginning when it lists all the books she's been reading from the library. Every Summer I make great plans to read Gone with the Wind. (#21) Sadly it hasn't happened yet. Every Fall I make great plans to read The Lord of the Rings. (#1) Tragically it hasn't happened yet. Jane Eyre (#10) & Little Women (#18) get more then their fair share of my reading attention. I would happily re-read both books every year. My dad read The Hobbit (#25) out loud to us when we were kids. We still regularly say things like "We wants it, my precious" & "Nasty little hobbitses."
