I think that Lord of the Rings has won every UK based poll for about the last ten years. And with each new list of results we get the usual criticism!
The Guardian article was interesting - especially where it claims the popularity of the book is due to harsh economic conditions in Germany. Surely this is a bit of a misnomer as the UK economy is strong, and it's also the most popular book here. The usual literati case of making the nose fit the (horn-rimmed) glasses?
