To kill a mockingbird was a set text for O Level and my younger cousins also did it at school. I hate to say this that it may be one of the few "serious" books that many Brits have read. Must say I was never keen .....

However I feel a little smug becasue I have read all of these apart from Great Expectations (and not the bible cover to cover)...

Mattius has just left Hobbiton.
I liked how in the newspaper I read the story in it had the books and the authors and for the Bible it said God hee hee. Also I remember that Lord of the Rings beat P&P to the BBC Big Read a few years ago.
