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...

And there's a few of those books that were huge "true-life sensation"-type things and which then turned out to be fictitious...

I don't think I recognized any of those. Speaking of, though, I do have Mutant Message Down Under on my shelf and do not brag about it.

Oh yeah, I read that a couple of years ago and then found all the stuff online debunking it!
