The BBC Offers Sound Advice: Choose Your Next 6 Books to Read From This Fascinating Collection

These are great works, most of which are at the shorter end of the spectrum, so you can more readily achieve a state of "well-readedness". The challenge includes both classic and modern works, and encompasses novels, novellas, plays and poetry. Many of the books are derived from the Top 1000 works at 'thegreatestbooks.org'.
