have missed only 13 of these. shell seekers is ok, but, twinky. safe enough to send to my maiden aunt. glad someone added pillars of the earth-great book. i also suggest all over but the shouting by rick bragg. wonderful book. it’s really hard to limit to 50.

Moby Dick — 2 years ago

I am sure that I saw Moby Dick in the top 100 at some point. This is why I have started reading it. Oh well, I’m sure it will be worthwhile anyway, but it is keeping me from War and Peace which I know is going to take a while…

Missing books! — 2 years ago

Erm, someone appears to have changed the list again! Lord Of The Rings (which should be number 1) has disappeared! I’m don’t want to try and edit it in case I mess it up, so maybe comeone who knows what they are doing could do it.

Sorcerer - Philosopher — 2 years ago

I’m sure (but don’t know 100%) the BBC list contained the European book title “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” instead of the US title “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. Could somebody change this please as I don’t know how? Thanks.
And yes, since this list is made by popular vote there should be both JK Rowling’s wizard and Terry Pratchett’s discworld represented in it.

#101 and #102 — 2 years ago

Someone added “Sense and Sensibility” and “Mansfield Park” by Jane Austen as numbers 101 and 102, which I deleted.

Restored it — 2 years ago

Restored the list, ‘His dark materials’ and ‘Hitchhikers guide’ were deleted. Maybe an admin could lock this list, it shouldn’t change anyway as the list is definitive.

oh my god — 2 years ago

some of you guys are ridiculous..the list was from a survey of popular reads that people like—-not a definitive edition of what is the ‘best’ literature.
