Writers, curators and critics, including Mariella Frostrup , selected The 100 English Language

Jilly Cooper 's Riders and Zadie Smith 's White Teeth .

Bbc Arts director Jonty Claypole said he wants The List to be "provocative, spark debate and inspire curiosity. "

The reveal kickstarts the BBC's year-long celebration of Literature .

Rowling is among The Children 's authors who makes The List

Some of The Other novels chosen include A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin - the First Book of the series that inspired the Smash Hit TV Show - Harper Lee 's To Kill a Mockingbird and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley .

Toni Morrison 's Beloved, Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials, JK Rowling's Harry Potter series and Sue Townsend 's The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole also feature.

Authors Juno Dawson , Kit de Waal and Alexander McCall Smith, along with Bradford Festival literary director Syima Aslam and Radio 4 presenter Stig Abell , are also on the panel.

A Bbc Two three-part series, Novels That Shaped Our World , begins on Saturday at 21:00GMT.

'Irresistible romps'

"It took months of enthusiastic debate and they have not disappointed," added Claypole.

"There are neglected masterpieces, irresistible romps as well as much-loved classics. "

The director described The List as "a more diverse list than any I have seen before" and that it recognised "the extent to which the English Language novel is an art form embraced way beyond British shores".

"Best of all," he continued, "it is just the start of a year of documentaries, author profiles, podcasts and outreach events all designed to do one thing and inspire everyone, whoever they are, to read more novels because of the proven life-enhancing benefits it brings. "
