What are thoughts? Some why's & what's, but definitely "interesting" choices! x

I don't know. Seems like the Times and/or Penquin Books has older folk working for it, and they choose those older books. Pop Culture is not normally represented in those lists like they should be.


Stephen King should be in there somewhere I would think.

Yes, also wondering about the minxes section, but I guess these lists are always bound to miss some things out.

I agree with Emma and Breakfast at Tiffanies in the Minxes section... can't think of any other book to include there, to be honest.
