Lord of The Rings loses No.1 spot in 'Top 100 books' list | JRR Tolkein's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy has lost its top spot on the latest list of Whitcoulls Top 100 books, dethroned by Larsson's Millenium trilogy. The new series includes the 'Girl With The Dragon Tattoo', the 'Girl Who Played With Fire', and the 'Girl Who Kicked
the Hornet's Nest', with Tolkien relegated to number six. Tolkein's series had
been in the top four for the past 12 years, according to Whitcoulls managing director
Peter Kalan, reports the New Zealand Herald. The second spot was taken by Stephanie
Meyer's Twilight saga, and Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveller's Wife leapt
from 14th place to third. Award-winner Alison Wong whose book As the Earth Turns
Silver was at number 42 and Nicky Pellegrino's latest novel Recipe For Life was
another new entrant at 62. The Bible was down from 15 to 23. However, classics
like Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice at number seven, Emily Bronte's Wuthering
Heights at number 53, and Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre at number 72 had not lost
their charm. New arrivals on the list included Jamie Oliver's Jamie Does at number
13, Justin Cronin's The Passage at number 15, and Andre Agassi's autobiography
