Swindon Book Club's Top 100
Inspired (or Incensed, you decide which) by the Guardian's Top 100 Novels of all Time, my bookclub decided to do our OWN top 100 list! Collected via a Google Form, each member submitted their top 10 books of all-time. We didn't limit to just fiction, and did accept entire series as "one book" — because honestly, picking is hard! As I can't order these by vote count, this is just all of them with no particular order whatsoever. Who knows, maybe we'll do this again sometime — enjoy!
