To mark the 40th anniversary of the Sunday Times lists of bestselling books (which is actually today), yesterday's paper ran a list of the top 100 of the bestsellers, I think judged based on the number of weeks spent in the charts.
A quick look through the list reveals that I have read about 20 of them (difficult to be sure exactly as precise reading records only began three years ago - apart from a year or so in the mid 90s when they got recorded in a book which I have subsequently lost, thereby demonstrating the benefits of the internet for the forgetful).
The other bit of good news was that Times+ members can buy a book each week from the list from Waterstones for the bargain price of £2.99. I might have to pop in tomorrow to try that out.
