100 reads that you can't put down?

So it seems that some bloke from Glasgow University (a fine institution, as it happens) has drawn up a list of what are, apparently, the 100 best Scottish books - ever. So I had a look, thinking I'm fairly well read, I'll have perused a few of 'em - and it turns out I've read a grand total of ten. Truth be told, I haven't even heard of half of them. Oh dear... Slightly strange though, may I say, that works of philosophy, history and economics are included, but no poetry, somethng Scots have excelled in through the years. But what would I know, it seems I am but an ignorant fool. Now where did I put that library card?
