Fantasy epic "The Lord of the Rings" has been picked as Britain's favourite read.
The BBC's "Big Read" campaign ended on Saturday with a resounding victory for one of the most enduring classics of the 20th century, a labour of love by Oxford academic J.R.R. Tolkien.
The quest for the best read attracted 750,000 votes -- and almost a quarter of them went to "The Lord of the Rings."
Second in the hotly fought contest was Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice.
Third was "His Dark Materials" by Philip Pullman, fourth was Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and fifth was JK Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." (Reuters)
