Ally and I both decided that it would be great to read the Top 100 BBC Reads - a list of the 100 favourite books voted for by the readers of ww.bbc.com. Needless to say it's turning out to be a whole lot of reading!! I've now read 29 of the 100, Ally being a more voracious reader is at around 40...
The two most recent books I have read are The Count Of Monte Cristo (yes, all 1241 pages of it!) and Anne of Green Gables (what an unexpectedly delightful book). Both books were fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed them.
Next I'll be tackling Catch 22 and Pride and Predjudice. Sometimes I think it would be easier to just catch the movies (just about all the books have been made into movies at one time or another) - but I suppose that would be cheating!

What a wonderful project. No doubt you will get many other suggestions but is Daphne du Maurier's "Rebecca" on the BBC list? It begins ...... "I dreamt of Manderlay last night. ....." Du Maurier characterized the story as being a 'study in jealousy' and she never quiet understood why the book became so respected. If it is not on your list, consider putting it down as 101.
