Britain's best-loved books

Hmm, well, I have to admit that I find some of them to be...surprising. There's precious few of my favourites that made it onto the list. OTOH, I didn't vote in the first place so can't very well whine about the appalling lack of taste in the people who voted for some of the entries.

Jeffrey Archer! Oh come on!

However, there are some great choices there that I'm ashamed to admit have passed me by. Oh well, there's time yet to read them.
