Lists of Bests: Berry's "Bojnberry's Top n Classic Books" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/15813 This list was made by taking the numbered lists from the old Everyman's Library, the new Everyman's, the Oxford world Classics and the numbered list at the back of a Modern Library book I have and algorithming them up to this list. Geeky, but fun. And now I'm reading them. Feel free to join in. note: It's n because the list has over 1500 entries, and I don't know when I'll get fed up ntering them ;) Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:29:10 GMT en-us 0 50 274 50 0 Robinson Crusoe
