Why does Lord of the Rings not fall in this category, Jenny?
I agree that some epic poetry should be read before death - Paradise Lost, The Faerie Queene, The Divine Comedy, The Aeneid, The Iliad, The Odyssey - but I wouldn't expect that they were eligible for this list (or poetry, or drama) since it was World Book Day (not World Work of Literature Day), and they can be difficult reading.
