The Museum Libraries and Archives council are making me feel better about my reading. They have published a list of the top 30 (fiction) books everyone should read. Number one? To Kill a Mockingbird. Number 2? The Bible. It's nicely eclectic, with classics like A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and modern books like Life of Pi. Kid's books are also represented with the His Dark Materials Trilogy and Winnie the Pooh.
Anyway, I feel better because I've read 19 out of the 30 mentioned. So while I may be reading genre works at the moment (Algebraist and The Cell,) the long term trend appears to still be healthy.

Well, Phillip Pullman says that His Dark Materials series in for both children and adults, but the problem is, the religious refences and going-ons might be too hard for a child's mind to grasp.
