I'm astonished at some of the books that have been chosen. I suppose it is a 'favourites' list after all and not a literary one.
So which one is it for Bronteana; Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights?
It is a strange list! And so many books that are currently all the rage. I don't think the Bible really is the same thing as Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, either!
Actually, I was thinking of voting for Pride and Prejudice ;) I'd go to JE. My all-time favourite book on any list.
