I can't resist list challenges, especially the ones about books...

...but this is an incredibly weird list:

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...

that is a very odd list. i've read three, all in my early teens oddly enough.

i haven't read 'battlefield earth' but i did see the terrible movie and oh god it is so hilarious. it's not supposed to be a comedy but it totally is.

Yeah, when I first got into online movie fandom it was THE go-to mockable movie. I've always meant to see it for the lulz!
