The BookCrossing Top 100+ Books of All Time (2006)

Add to my lists | Print this list

In early 2006, members of BookCrossing (http://bookcrossing.com/friend/avanta7) were asked to name their twenty favorite books of all time. 228 members participated in the poll. Some people voted for a specific book, and some for a series. Where both the series and a separate book made the top 100, we included both. Where a book or series would not have made the list without combining the two, we combined the two. This is imperfect, but seemed the fairest way to go. The titles were collated and votes tabulated, resulting in the following list of top vote getters, posted by their rank. There were several ties, resulting in a list of 116 books rather than 100 even. Many thanks to BookCrossing member WhiteRaven13 for taking on the monumental task of running the poll. PLEASE! Make no changes to this list!
