New Zealanders have voted, and Whitcoulls have launched its new list of
Top 100 books.
Surprise, surprise (joking) the
Millenium Trilogy heads the parade. A real surprise is how Harry Potter has slumped. It is nice to see classics (old and new) like
Pride & Prejudice, To Kill a Mocking Bird and
Memoirs of a Geisha there. Alice Sebold's
Lovely Bones is probably predictable, as there has been so much publicity here, what with our own Sir Peter Jackson producing the film -- which made me raise an eyebrow to see that none of the
Lord of the Rings series is in the top twenty.
As for the rest of the list, I evidently have to visit a store to see the full array. Why have they not posted the full list on the website? There lurks a mystery.
