But I have copied the 200 book list rather than the 100. And there really are some books on there I would not normally go anywhere near.<br /><br />This is the link:<br /><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/top100.shtml"><span style="font-size:85%;">http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/top100.shtml</span></a><br /><br />I know this list is 5 years old, but it is a place to start.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6808313583255019917-4739231469376077263?l=chaosbookblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gallifreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16526784030247862699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808313583255019917.post-49859018220861720042009-01-25T12:01:00.002Z2009-01-26T10:15:38.149ZI like:<br /><br /><ul><li>biography - but it has to be "real" people</li><li>fantasy</li><li>a good factual book - usually history</li><li>good children's literature</li><li>Doctor Who (sad admission)</li><li>thought provoking</li><li>humour</li></ul><p>Favourite Authors </p><ul><li>Terry Pratchett</li><li>Thomas Hardy</li><li>Amy Tan</li><li>Joanna Trollope</li><li>Joanne Harris</li><li>John O' Farrell</li><li>Douglas Adams</li><li>Jodie Picoult</li></ul><p>What I dislike</p><ul><li>crime fiction</li><li>Dickens - not the plots, just the prose!</li><li>chick lit</li><li>biographies of awful childhoods</li><li>biographies of people who haven't done anything yet!</li></ul><p> </p><ul><li></li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6808313583255019917-4985901822086172004?l=chaosbookblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gallifreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16526784030247862699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808313583255019917.post-91310428735520923262009-01-24T22:50:00.000Z2009-01-25T12:13:26.845ZShakespeare's Wife - Germaine Greer<br />The Joy Luck Club - Amy Tan<br />The Story of Martha - Daniel Abnett<br />The Audacity of Hope - Barack Obama<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6808313583255019917-9131042873552092326?l=chaosbookblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gallifreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16526784030247862699noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808313583255019917.post-42779278374114682732009-01-24T22:31:00.001Z2009-01-25T12:09:48.802ZPart of my 2009 resolutions to keep a record of books and try to extend my range of books and reading habits over the year.<br />So I am using this blog as a record; to do some partial reviews; and, to get feedback from other readers.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6808313583255019917-4277927837411468273?l=chaosbookblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gallifreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16526784030247862699noreply@blogger.com0
