There are around 150 titles reviewed each day all selected by the Guardian's editors and literary experts.Starts Saturday 17 January- with "Love". Methinks I shall be popping along to the newsagent on campus all next week to get myself some half-price newspapers... |

Cheapskate here wonders if they'll be available online?? | ||

That was my thought as well  I never buy newspapers but I may have to make an exception if it isn't on line.

I'm another non newspaper buyer. How about if it's not online we undertake to buy a different days paper each and post the list on here. I'd be happy to do one or two. | ||
| wonderlake |
Yeah, I'd be okay doing that 
Here's the page advertising it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/signup/2009/jan/09/1 Maybe they will put the lists online- so that people can discuss the choices, but only after they have been given away in the paper ? |

I tend to get things wrong and today is no exception.
I went out and bought The Telegraph instead of The Guardian. However it did have 100 books to read - but they can be found at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cultur...-novels-everyone-should-read.html But the good news is that the lists in the Guardian can be found at http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2...ovels-what-makes-great-love-story So no purchase is required. (I am now £1.60 poorer but have lots of newspaper to wrap up in when I can't afford my electric bill). |
