Top 100 books by BBC's Big Read

Bold = the ones I've read.
Italic = the ones I'm planning to read.

( A long list of books... )

The recent discussion on YTDAW had me thinking - I really do review too little. But of course, I can be a very blunt reviewer and some don't much like that. So here's my offer - if you want, give me one story you want me to review (give a link in the comments for convinience, please). Keep it within a fandom I know (since otherwise, I can't much comment on certain aspects of it), and don't pick something way, way long or I'll never finish it. I will review it and I promise it'll be something beyond "Great story! More!"

Wherein Cam Learns It's Bad To Be Clumsy

Holy shit.

I've just had the nearest thing to a near-death accident I've ever had. Was home with the parents to send brother off to Trondheim and his studies - and while talking a walk, I pass this semi-dam, which is mainly a rocky downhill. It offers a nice view over Lier and I like to stand there and behold it. It was wet, slippery and I made a misstep and started slipping down it. For a moment, I thought I'd slide down to where it suddenly falls down to some fairly nasty rocks. And that could even have broken my neck.

I managed to get enough footing to slowly climb up again and up on the road, but... Oy. Remind me not to do that again. I kinda like my life.

And my lovely track pants might never recover.

Cam Wishes Douglas Adams Was Still About Quote of the Day:

A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
