The BBC’s Big Read – revisited
I have already mentioned in an earlier post the great fantasy books that were in the top 10 ten books of the BBC’s Big Read poll. I thought I would revisit the list and see what other fantasy classics appeared.
The Harry Potter series is in the top 100 in its entirity and The Hobbit has a high placing too. Artemis Fowl appears after the 50 mark as does Terry Pratchett’s Mort ( my favourite Pratchett novel ).
Raymond E Feist’s wonderful Magician can also be found in 89th position but the 2 authors that I am sad to see missing are Robin Hobb and Ursula Le Guin as they have written books that I believe appeal to all not just the fantasy readers.
