BBC Believes Reading 6 of These Books Is Better Than 6 Minute Abs - Page 2

The list is actually titled "100 Years, 100 Novels, One List" and was compiled by Dick Meyer, author of "Why We Hate Us". He says: "I am not a learned or prolific reader of novels. My taste is probably medium-brow, male and parochial in many ways." Do you agree this is a classic old white male book list?
With apologies to "There's Something About Mary".
(Meyer previously served as Executive Producer for the BBC's news services in America.)
