The list — 1 year ago

Just gone through and sorted out the list, fortunately have a print out of the list which is in the correct order.
At the moment all 1001 books are there and in the right order

Missing book — 1 year ago

I think the missing book is Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë as number 902.
Could someone add it? I don’t know how to do it, afraid to make the list even more chaotic…
But the books 1-500 should be OK now.

Another Removed — 1 year ago

It looks like another book has been removed from the list, but I couldn’t tell you which one (the current disorder near the top of the list makes it impossible to tell if a book is missing or just misplaced). Can anyone tell which it is?

What the heck happened?! Somebody came in and moved EVERYTHING around! Someone is a big fat jerk.

I spent some time trying to get things back to the way they were but I just don’t have the time to do the whole thing. It looks like someone tried to put it in alphabetical order. Whoever did it is an idiot and should come clean up the mess they made.

On the starting line... — 1 year ago

I’m only on 1% but hey, I’m 17 so I think I’ve still got a good few reading years ahead of me (hopefully). It’s a shame that plays weren’t included though, as I’m as interested in drama as I am in novels. If Willy Shakespeare was on this list, I might have at least got to 2% =(

Moonstone — 1 year ago

This was on the list and then disappeared. What happened? This is an excellent book by the way. I enjoyed it more than the Woman in White. Both by Wilkie Collins.

From 3 to 4 Percent — 1 year ago

I just finished Zadie Smith’s On Beauty which is excellent and that pushed me over the top to 4%. The only book of the last 10 that was not worth consuming was, in my opinion, The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway. I think it was probably cutting edge in its day but appears to ramble on in 2008.

I re-added Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime which someone removed.

So everyone knows — 1 year ago

I have been changing some of the editions to match the real list better. For example, number 855 was on here as Rudin a Romance and King Lear of the Steppes. Rudin is not on the official list, so I corrected the list to be only A Lear of the Steppes.
