Boxall's 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die discussion

I am fairly new to this list, so I apologize if this is an old topic (moderators, please feel free to delete if so):

Which books are you surprised to find were not included?

First of all, how can any self-respecting list omit Wallace Stegner?

I would also have to say I am surprised by the omission of The River Why by David James Duncan, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon, the total omission of C.S. Lewis, the fact that Barbara Kingsolver has written much better books than The Poisonwood Bible, All The King's Men by Robert Penn Warren, A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean, Sophie's Choice, and A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn, just for starters.

How about you?
