Is there a website where one can describe the plot of a book and get the title?

I read so many books when i was younger and would like to re-read some of them but can't remember the names. I started reading really early, age four or five and there were a lot of great books I would like to share with my ESL students that I volunteer with.
Anyone know of such a place?

Answer
Not exactly but these might help, I'm including some great links to help with your work with the ESL students.

This is not meant to be the longest list of links for EFL/ESL teachers and students. We do want it to be one of the best though, so we have chosen just a few links to really great sites for anyone connected with learning or teaching English as a foreign or second language.

What is a RELIABLE list of the top 10 (or 100) books of all time?

TFrail

Is there any source out there that is nationally recognized and reliable that gives a list of the greatest books ever written? Not just some NY Times author's top 10 list! Please include a link if you can!

Answer
http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/top100.shtml
OR http://www.brainpickings.org/index.php/2012/01/30/writers-top-ten-favorite-books/

Any website isn`t likely to be 110% reliable, but BBC has named 100 of most well-known books (on the link above)... :)
