Thread Name: Brits 21 Favourite Books -- Yours?
Subject: RE: Brits 21 Favourite Books -- Yours?
Why, Eliza, something in common indeed; Mansfield Park would top my list for sure. I often wonder, with lists like this, why it is somehow thought that only one work by any writer should figure; be that as it may, my next three would be Emma, Persuasion, Pride & Prejudice.

Great Expectations, Our Mutual Friend, Right on Jeeves, The Code of the Woosters, Snobs [Julian Fellowes], Huckleberry Finn, Middlemarch, Felix Holt, Silas Marner, The Secret Agent, Under Western Eyes, An American Tragedy, Sister Carrie, Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, Puck of Pooks Hill, Rewards & Fairies, The Way of All Flesh, Washington Square, Anna Karenina, Paradise Lost, the William books, the Flashman books, Damon Runyon's Broadway stories, Gaudy Night, Watership Down, Brideshead Revisited, A Handful of Dust, Vile Bodies, Put Out More Flags, The Loved One, I Claudius, The Return of the Native, The Woodlanders, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, The Hand of Ethelberta, Treasure Island, Mr Johnson, Lolita, Portnoy's Complaint...

Just for starters. Shall think in 5 minutes, oh how could I have missed out...?

No Tolkein; can never get to the end of three sentences. Likewise C.S. Lewis...
