BBC finally found its best-loved book, and unsurprisingly the honour is bestowed on Tolkien.
The program was fairly boring, the Harry Potter-people wildly annoying and the Top 5 unsurprising, unexciting and uneventful. I would have voted for Pride and Prejudice, had it not cost me an absurd amount of money and had I not been largely impassionate about this entire excercise by now. The Harry Potter-voters kept claiming that eveyone had read the Harry Potter books and loved them. I haven't read Harry Potter. Harry Potter can go **** himself, for all I care. The only mildly exciting thing was His Dark Materials, a trilogy of which I know absolutely nothing, but it does sound quite exciting, albeit a bit Sophie's World-ish. I like the title, though. It lies well on the tongue.
Yes, I'm grumpy. Been holed up all day, in the flat, with a cold.
