The 110 books to make up the "perfect" library according to The Telegraph. I quite like the list, though as with all such it's open to argument and cries of, "But what about X?" and "If Y isn't on the list, then it's a travesty and a sham!" However, if I met someone whose library was nothing but those 110 books, I can't say I'd be impressed. A library should reflect the tastes and interests of its collector, not a laundry list of the books you "should" have. I'd rather a shelf of well-loved Danielle Steele than a room of obligatory classics.
