List order — 20 weeks ago

Somehow the list was totally messed up – i fixed it as best I could, but the list source is no longer complete.

Question about The Things They Carried — 27 weeks ago

Is that the right The Things They Carried on the list? It says “Bloom’s Guides.” I wholeheartedly agree it should be on the list, but it seems like the wrong publisher.

The things they Carried - Tim O'Brien — 28 weeks ago

Ive read a decent amount of this list, and after going over it I can’t believe that there isn’t a Single Tim O’Brien novel… anyone else agree?

Nelson Mandela — 47 weeks ago

I find it a little hard to believe that is the right book. According to the list source it is “No Easy Walk to Freedom” by Nelson Mandela – but his autobiography is titled “Long Walk to Freedom” and someone else wrote “No Easy Walk to Freedom.” I can’t find another list source, however, so I don’t want to mess with it.

cool concept, to list by categories, since great books are good for various reasons. and nice to see count of monte cristo finally show up on a list – it’s one of my faves!

Changing The Invisible Man to the right book (should be H.G. Wells’ book, not Ralph Ellison’s) and adding the categories to the description.

Also added the missing book: Scoop by Evelyn Waugh.
