This is like every other list. People have already started stuffing it with books that don't fit what the list is.

That's why this one is called "literary" trilogies in order to list real good titles found in the literature.

Hey Laura, I'd like to include in the list (and vote for) Eduardo Galeano's MEMORY OF FIRE but I do not know how to go about it. It is a trilogy too: Genesis, Faces and Masks and Century of the Wind.

I've removed the 2nd and 3rd books of Sandra Gulland and Pauline Simmons since only the first book of a trilogy should be listed here.

Want to add Gamethill by Denise Mina but does not appear in GR search and I don't own a copy to "create" it. It is a recent book, the first book in a trilogy that came to be called the Gamethill trilogy.

I did add Mina's later trilogy by adding The Field of Blood. (This trilogy is based around the sleuthing of journalist Paddy Meehan).

That's because the book is called Garnethill. :) I added it.

Children of the Arbat (#93) is not the first part of a trilogy but of a tetralogy, as there are four books and not three.

Same goes for These Old Shades (#116): These Old Shades, Devil's Cub, Regency Buck and An Infamous Army together make four books, last time I counted.

Both Children of the Arbat and These Old Shades should be deleted for not meeting the criteria of this list...

So far Wolf Hall (#5) is part of a duology, not a trilogy. Not sure there ever will be a third book either, as the publication date keeps moving forward (and has done so for a couple of years...).

#143 Lost Illusions is not part of a trilogy, as there are more than three books...

#203 Winnetou is not part of a trilogy either (again, more than three books...)

Thanks Booklovinglady! Lost Illusions and Winnetou have been removed. But I'll leave Wolf Hall as it is, since the 3rd book of this series is already planned by the author, even if there is not publication date yet.

Hilary Mantel must be suffering from a writer's block :-) because like I said, the publication date keeps moving forward. I'm one of the many people who is anxiously waiting for The Mirror and the Light, as it has been five years now since Bring Up the Bodies was published.
