Why is To Kill a Mockingbird on there!? It's not non fiction. It's realistic fiction.

To Kill a Mockingbird is fiction, come on people you all lose credibility when it is on this list at all, let alone near the top.
~☆~Autumn♥♥ wrote: "Would a librarian please clean up this list! thanks!"To Kill a Mockingbird seems to have been removed already. Which other titles (name and number) are fiction?
Once Upon a Road Trip is a YA romance novel, but I've removed it.ETA: Also removed I, Claudius - which is a first-rate novel, but a novel still.

Thanks!
I removed two novels, but I only checked the first page; there may be more novels lurking beneath that.
