The Top 100

I'm going to review some of the books on Angus & Robertson's Top 100, so i googled their site to find a list. However, i was slightly appalled to find that the Top 100 now is reliant on people's votes. There is no standard of literary merit to reach, it's merely a popularity contest. No offense to voters, but Laura Weisbergers Everyone Worth Knowing is most definitely not a book worthy of that accolade...

Everyone has different tastes. So, obviously, i'll never please everyone, and i don't expect everyone to share the opinions that i have... i like any book i can get my hands on (biographies, chick lit, fantasy, children's books, action novels...), watch anything (chick flicks, end-of-the-world movies, horror/thriller, serious...) and i love reading blogs that give me an insight into another person's world.

Books, blogs and movies provide an escape. It doesn't matter what's wrong with the world, delving into another world is the best way to feel better. Hopefully, here with me, you'll find something that you like - and then you'll be able to escape too.
