World Book Night Top 100


After World Book Night this April, the big book giveaway organisers set their sights on creating a list of the English-speaking world's top 100 most popular books.

As you can imagine, many classics including Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre made the top 10, alongside everyone's favourite of the last decade, The Time-Travler's Wife. Perhaps unsurprisingly, To Kill A Mockingbird stole the top spot.

You can find the World Book Night Top 100 here.

I've read a slender (but, I hope, respectable!) 30, and am currently reading a 31st.

How many have you read? Are any of your favourites on there?

    I've read 18 on that list. Seeing The Book Thief at number 3 has just swayed me on my next read I think.

    That's a good number - lots of them from your 20 books challenge? The Book Thief is a wonderful book, get on it!
