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-read than 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。

英国文学爱好者们近日发布了一个100部书籍清单，英国每个家庭的书架上至少会有其中一本书。

这一经典书籍目录囊括了多种多样的文学体裁，既包括《哈利•波特》和《简•爱》，也有《格雷的50道阴影》这种风格大胆的色欲小说。

其他入选的书籍还包括《傲慢与偏见》、《呼啸山庄》和已故的史蒂夫•乔布斯的传记《那个非同凡“想”的人》。

像主持人弗兰克•斯金纳、笑星大卫•沃廉姆斯、女演员米兰达•哈特甚至“波霸乔丹”凯蒂•普莱斯这些人的自传也出现在英国最受欢迎的书籍之列。
