What's your favourite?
Love reading? Then tell us what your favourite book is. Lord of the Rings, The Bible, Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights and The Da Vinci Code are all in with a shot at being Canterbury’s favourite book.
Since voting opened for What’s Your Favourite? readers nominated almost 1000 books. This list has now been whittled down to the region’s top 20 for a second round of voting.
The top book will be announced on Saturday, 9 September during The Press Christchurch Writers Festival 2006 and will be posted on the www.whatsyours.co.nz website.
What’s Your Favourite? has, as predicted with Canterbury being a region of readers and book lovers, attracted strong interest, says Christchurch Libraries Manager Carolyn Robertson. “A common comment is that ‘there are so many books from which to choose, the choice is difficult’.”
What’s Your Favourite? is a Canterbury-wide event, with Christchurch City Libraries having got library colleagues in Waimakariri, Selwyn, Ashburton and Timaru districts and their customers to participate, Mrs Robertson said.
