It seems to me that the rating was compiled based on the taste and preferences of ordinary people. Of course, ordinary inhabitants is interesting to read about how a bespectacled riding on a broom (Harry Potter), and not about moral moral choice: Who am I trembling creature or have the right (Crime or punishment)
4. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams
By the way pretty cool book.
Crime and punishment... That current is not necessary to remember that psychological brick! I remember this...um...theory... well, in General, well traveled.

Yes, I remember this horror! Especially when the bear clogged the entrance of the Oblique! Damn, I thought that all PPC is the hare, right now, the air all over! And no, cost!
1. The Lord of The Rings, JRR Tolkien
25. The Hobbit, JRR Tolkien
These books must stand together!
Not quite. The Lord of the Rings all the same much more Mature and serious work than the Hobbit.
Yeah, but Winnie the Pooh is also older than the Hobbit?
No, there's some kind of wrong selection criterion))
And what may be selection criteria, if there are only a few of the classics mentioned, and then shoved their XS where?
Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
Wanted at the time to see. Suggest to read? What is the salt book?
Disgusting As all this is to compare sales do not know. It did used separately modern classics separately.
