Literary enthusiasts recently published a list of 100 books, at least one of which will be found on every bookcase in Britain.

The catalogue of classics includes a diverse mix of literary genres including everything from Harry Potter to Jane Eyre to the saucy novel Fifty Shades of Grey.

Other titles featured include Pride and Prejudice,Wuthering Heights and The Man Who Thought Different, the late Steve Jobs’ biography.

Autobiographies from the likes of Frank Skinner, David Walliams, Miranda Hart and even Katie Price also feature on Britain’s bookshelves.

The research was commissioned by Bookmarkyourlibrary.org.uk which trawled literary forums and websites to compile a list of books for people to select their favourites from.

The book most people are likely to have gathering dust on the shelf is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by JK Rowling, followed by The Hobbit.

Elisabeth Robinson, spokesperson for Bookmarkyourlibrary.org.uk said: “Bearing in mind the first Harry Potter book was released just 15 years ago, it’s incredible that two of them are in the top ten books that appear on Briton’s bookshelves and it’s an incredible feat to beat classics like Great Expectations and Pride and Prejudice.”

The survey also revealed that more than one in ten said they would never read the same book twice and one in twenty said they throw books away.

And over half of Brits leave books to gather dust on their shelves, 16 percent would take them to a charity shop and 15 pass finished books on to a friend when they have finished them.

Other authors that feature in homes were Helen Fielding who penned Bridget Jones’ Diary and unsurprisingly Enid Blyton.

The poll also found that more than one in ten Brits have lied about reading certain books.

Of those a third said they pretend to have read certain titles to make themselves appear more intelligent than they actually are.

And a quarter said they pretend to be more well-readthan they actually are.

Of the 2000 adults polled 18 percent said they regularly re-read books on their shelves, but 13 percent said they hang on to books as they like seeing them lined up on the bookshelf.

英國文學愛好者們近日發(fā)布了一個100部書籍清單，英國每個家庭的書架上至少會有其中一本書。

這一經(jīng)典書籍目錄囊括了多種多樣的文學體裁，既包括《哈利?波特》和《簡?愛》，也有《格雷的50道陰影》這種風格大膽的色欲小說。

其他入選的書籍還包括《傲慢與偏見》、《呼嘯山莊》和已故的史蒂夫?喬布斯的傳記《那個非同凡“想”的人》。

像主持人弗蘭克?斯金納、笑星大衛(wèi)?沃廉姆斯、女演員米蘭達?哈特甚至“波霸喬丹”凱蒂?普萊斯這些人的自傳也出現(xiàn)在英國最受歡迎的書籍之列。

這一調(diào)查是由圖書館網(wǎng)站Bookmarkyourlibrary.org.uk委托開展的，該調(diào)查從各文學論壇和網(wǎng)站搜羅信息，編纂出一個書籍清單供人們挑選自己喜愛的書。

被最多英國人收入自家書架的書是J?K?羅琳的《哈里?波特與火焰杯》，其次是《霍比特人》。

Bookmarkyourlibrary網(wǎng)站的發(fā)言人伊麗莎白?羅賓森說：“考慮到《哈利?波特》系列第一部的出版也不過就在15年前，竟然就有兩部躋身英國讀者最多的十大書籍，而且還擊敗了《遠大前程》、《傲慢與偏見》這樣的經(jīng)典著作，確實是不可思議的成就?！?/span>

該調(diào)查還揭示，超過十分之一的英國人表示他們不會把同一本書看兩遍，二十分之一的人稱他們會把書扔掉。

超半數(shù)的英國人把書放在書架上積灰，16%的人會把書捐給慈善商店，15%的人在看完書后會把書送給朋友。

著作最常出現(xiàn)在英國家庭書架上的其他作家還有《BJ單身日記》的作者海倫?菲爾丁和兒童文學家伊妮德?布萊頓，布萊頓的入選也是意料之中。

調(diào)查還發(fā)現(xiàn)，超過十分之一的英國人謊稱自己看過某些書而實際上沒看過。
