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

Just so you know, there is a Goodreads Listopia list here where you can vote for your favorite books from the list:
http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/95...

To Kill A Mockingbird is currently holding the number one spot.

The books are not all added yet, so please go ahead and add any of your favorite list books that you don't find.

Of course, please ONLY add list books, not your non-list faves!

and thanks to judith for starting this poll!

Have noticed the Qu'ran has been added to the list.

Thanks Deanne, I have dealt with that. Also added a note that the books in the list are fiction - which may deter people from adding holy books that they presumably do not consider to be fictional ...

This is my what comes to mind right now list:

1. One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
2. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Klay by Michael Chabon
3.The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton

6. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

lol. I haven't touched part 3 yet. Still contemplating gouging my eyes out.

Wow, that must be frustrating to manage - so many people seem to be voting and adding books that aren't on the official 1001 Books List. Then they get all offended because Twilight and HP aren't on it. Duh.

Well, even if you don't want to vote on the list, the link has a link to a combined (free) list of all of the books from all three lists.
