I still <em>want</em> to read Alice, but I haven't gotten around to it... I just wasn’t much of a reader when I was young, so I think that caused me to miss a lot.
I still want to read Alice, but I haven’t gotten around to it…

I have only read 10 on that list though. Two surprises, for me: that Watership Down made it on there, it was an odd (though very good) book. The author also wrote a novel from the point of view of two dogs :-). Also, especially since this is from the UK, it is surprising that no E.M. Forster books made the list. The article mentions their absence but doesn't say why. Those were all great books and movies, if you like that sort of period piece. How could you not have read Alice in Wonderland? Is that a girl thing? I read it several times, long before I was old enough to get any of the trippy subtext.
