100 books meme
May. 21st, 2003 01:58 pmI have just found out what this meme means. It's the BBC's 100 favourite books, voted for by members of the public. Now, I have seen one or two programmes revolving around that book thing and disapprove of them deeply for a variety of reasons (which I will bore you with if you really, really want). Still, being the bookworm that I am, I cannot help but be drawn into this meme.
