World Book Day Poll Places Jane Austen at the Top

The classics are still the go to books of the world readers according to the World Book Day poll. 2000 people participated in this poll by listing the top ten titles they could not live without. Pride and Prejudice was number one from every region except Northern Ireland. That region bestowed the honor To Kill a Mockingbird.
