I changed the Sleepy Hollow one, the one appearing here was by Jane Mason and I think it should be Washington Irving’s ;)

lovely list! — 4 years ago

I like this list as it blends many different literary, uh, traditions. You could take this list to the library, select as many as possible, and explore the whole of the building—which we too seldomly do! :)

This is a pretty nice list. I hope you add more books onto it soon. My one suggestion for it is that, instead of having “boxed sets” for series like Little House on the Prairie, you list each individual title. Otherwise, great list.

Sorted — 6 years ago

The list is completely sorted, at least until I start adding more. Right now it consists of 3 lists. I still have 1 or 2 to add.

2 lists — 6 years ago

as of now, I’ve completed adding 2 lists. I still have a couple more lists I would like to work in, and will begin that next. I also did a little sorting on the first page, but it’s nothing like sorted, as everything I add is always appended to the end. That’s something I’ll continue to work on, as well as removing any duplicates I may have introduced.

That's a decent start — 6 years ago

currently this is a condensed version of The BookCrossing Top 100+ Books of All Time (2006)

I will continue to add great/classic books from other definitive lists.
