The 30 books that British librarians say you should read

http://books.guardian.co.uk/news/articles/0,,1721526,00.html

I've read 11 of them.

I'm sure we all would like to add or subtract from their list.

Joan
I've read 26 of them. (Well, I haven't read ALL of the Bible or The
Prophet, but hey, I've read big chunks of both.)

The ones I haven't read are:

The Time Traveller's Wife
The Alchemist
The Master and Margherita
The Life of Pi

I started the Time Travellers Wife and couldn't get into it. I suppose
I'll have to give it another go now. Life of Pi was great. I think of
that book often. To say more would be a spoiler.

K Barrett

I did the same thing. Read about 80 pages then quit, planning to try it
again sometime.
Sue D., also enjoyed Life of Pi


Oh. I liked Time Travellers Wife a lot.

Mary

I was afraid that it was a Suffering Woman Book, a la Anita Shreve. Were my
fears misplaced?
