Great Books

The Times decided what the Greatest 100 Books of all Time are. Or at least, while they have been in publication.

I've read 12 of the 100.

• Animal Farm by George Orwell
• Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
• The French Lieutenant's Woman by John Fowles
• Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
• The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
• The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
• Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
• Lord of the Flies by William Golding
• The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkein
• 1984 by George Orwell
• A Passage to India by E.M. Forster
• To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Back in my wishing to impress days, I would have kept the list and checked out some of the titles to further pad my reading habits. Now I realize that the list is arbitrary (to a point) and my reading perference is no longer so cultured.

But it is still fun to compare.
