BBC Big Read - Best Loved Novel

D13 SG

Wah, I thought moderator supposed to moderate.

Just having a little fun during lunch and coffee break, I love books, adore them to death, oops. Thought of the wrist slit because I was thinking of Robert Stone. One critic described it most aptly: "The novel is break, break, break, hide the razarblades before you read it". Maybe Austen is the antithesis of Stone...I don't know lah...okay lah okay lah, to each his/her own, don't wave your parang at me lah... Mr. Green

25. The Hobbit, JRR Tolkien
30. Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, Lewis Carroll
36. Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson
39. Dune, Frank Herbert
46. Animal Farm, George Orwell
47. A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens
68. Good Omens, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
70. Lord Of The Flies, William Golding
71. Perfume, Patrick Süskind
78. Ulysses, James Joyce
90. On The Road, Jack Kerouac
91. The Godfather, Mario Puzo | Film review

- nothing of Neil Gaiman's solo works?
- nothing by Lovecraft?
- no Chaucer?
- Where's Waldo?
- too much JK Rowling Evil or Very Mad
