In honour of World Book Day today, The Guardian newspaper (from London, England) surveyed British readers and came up with a list of 100 books that they could not live without.
It is a very interesting list that has a bit of everything: classics, newer books, children's books (like Winnie the Pooh), massive tomes (like War and Peace - I still think of that Charlie Brown cartoon where Linus has to lug the book around like a ball and chain), mysteries, drama, and books I had to read for school (like To Kill a Mockingbird).
It would appear that the Brits - or at least the ones who read The Guardian - are quite well-read.
