its the BBC Big Read in case you dont know what i'm talking about. I would have voted for Dune if it was in the top 21. Has anyone read the Dune sequels? I've heard the first 3 Dune books are good then it goes downhill. |

why are books on television? the reason tv was invented was to get away from books in the first place |

erm well... its to find out what the UK's favourite book is. How are they meant to promote it and recieve the most votes possible? By handing out leaflets in the book store? |

The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger. 1984 comes a close second, Catch 22 as my third choice. None of the others are both great entertainment and "classic literature" that will be read in 100 years time in my opinion. |

I'd say Lord of the Rings... I thinks its stupid that you can't just vote any book....Surely something else would win other than from those... |

That's the top 21 out of 100 voted for by the public. You had the chance to vote for anything. I'm gonna incur wrath now by saying I voted for Goblet Of Fire. But it IS my favourite out of the 12 or so I've read on there... 2nd would be His Dark Materials, then Catcher In The Rye. |
