Quelle FAZ vom 03.03.2007

Anläßlich des 10. Welttag des Buches haben mehr als 2.000 Leser die 10 Bücher genannt. Ohne die sie nicht leben könnten.

1: Stolz und Vorurteil von Jane Austen
2. Herr der Ringe von J.R.R: Tolkien
3. Jane Eyre von Charlotte Bronte
4. Harry-Potter-Serie von J. K. Rowlings
5. Wer die Nachtigall stört von Harper Lee
6. Die Bibel

Unter den ersten 20 sind ebenfalls
Sturmhöhe von Emily Bronte
1984 von George Orwell
Große Erwartungen von Charles Dickens
Kleine Frauen von Louisa May Alcotts
Tess von Thomas Hardy
Catch 22 von Jospeh Heller
Shakespeares gesammelte Werke

Entgegen dem Trend an britischen Schulen, demnach man Kindern Klassiker nicht zumuten könne, da sie unzeigemäß und schwierig seien sind unter den hundert beleibtesten Werken

Madame Bovary von Gustave Flaubert
Krieg und Frieden von Tolstoi
Moby Dick von Hermann Melville
Ulysses von James Joyce

Dan Browns Da Vinci Code folgt auf Platz 42 - Die deutsche Literatur ist nicht vertreten.

LG Dyke - der sich wieder daran erinenrt, dass er sich einen seiner alltime-Favoriten "Cathc 22" noch als HC besorgen will.

Vielleicht findet ja jemand die ganze Liste
