Hee, the reason why is because this list was selected by UK readers. On the whole they tend to ignore books by minorities like Brick Lane and White Teeth. My guess is that it seems too controversial to include. Anyhow, it explains the Austens and the Da Vinci Code... and the separate entries for Shakespeare. Tsk tsk.
