Quite agree about Motion. I mean, Ulysses, honestly, I haven't read that yet...I'm still struggling with Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man...

I expect that although if operating on personal taste his list would share certain things with Pullman's, though I think it would contain quite a lot more of the relatively obscure myths specifically (Mabinogion, Beowulf and Kalevala dead certs), he probably would go for the sensible "How am I supposed to account for every child's sensibility?" route and refuse to submit a list.
