2008-08-31 the big read

This book is the resultv of a BBc poll in april 2003 to find the most loved 100 novels There is a commentry and precis of each novel covering 1 or 2 pages plus notes on the author.Many of the onepage novels deserved two pages.This book can make the lazy person appear well read.Where the book falls down is the ludicrous pictorial cover and the first 13 pages where iot appears a mad designer has been at work to destroy the gravitas of the book.
