Lists of Bests: GreyHeron's "the never-ending reading list" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/57080 This is the kind of list that makes even the most hardened bookworm cry - because you know, deep down, that somewhere in the middle of the list, there's something you haven't read yet. And that bothers you. So go ahead - take a look. The worst that could possibly happen is you reach the bottom of the list, only to realize someone's been adding more at the other end.
