100 Favourite Books of all Time (well, for some folks right now)


This is from a list compiled recently by Borders bookshops in Australia.  Angus & Robertson does one too, and a kids' one.
.
I always kind of wonder about these sorts of lists.  The fact that Pride and Prejudice seems to be a reflex pick for so many, fabulous though it is.  The reality that recent exposure (eg. the film of My Sister's Keeper) influences lists - would books like this rate as well in a year, or even six months?
.
Still, it's always interesting to see what's on the list.  Film or not, I love The Time Traveler's Wife, so I'm pleased at its rank.  
.
Now how might such an idea by adapted to a school library? 
.
Hmmmmmm.  Thinking..............

Cheers
