I can't resist list challenges, especially the ones about books...
...but this is an incredibly weird list:
http://www.listchallenges.com/books-youll-never-brag-about-having-read/
I mean, there are the obvious blockbusters that people love to mock, like Twilight, 50 Shades of Grey and The Da Vinci Code, but otherwise a lot of the significance escapes me; they seem to be American popular political/psychological hits, plus the odd work of Nazi propaganda that a lot of history students will actually have read because they're studying the period.
Anyway, I've read 12/100, and I've got Peyton Place on the shelf waiting for me to get round to it...
