200 Superb Books Everyone Should Read At Least Once
In alphabetical order. Each title is a link to a book's Amazon page. My book list would be quite a bit different, but I've read many they've listed here.
Flowers for Algernon is not on the list? :shock:
Big mistake. IMO

4 Harry Potter books? Really?
Flowers in the Attic? Really?
No fountainhead or atlas shrugged?

That list is actually from a 2003 BBC viewer questionnaire, asking people to list their favorite books.
It's not a list of "what you should read." It's "what Brits were reading in 2003."
Lazy, lazy, lazy....

Subpar list because John Triptych's books aren't in it.
I'm sorry, but... As a "Books Everyone Should Read," it's utterly dismal.Maybe lazy but mostly a decent list. I disagree with catcher in the Rye though. I think that has to be the most overrated book ever written. (well at least of any book I have ever read, but that doesnt convey my disdain for the book as well)
That guy's a hack. :2razz:

No Shakespeare, but it has Bridget Jones' Diary
No Ralph Ellison or James Baldwin or Toni Morrison, but it has fourteen YA books by Jacqueline Wilson
Only 4 out of the 7 Harry Potter books -- I guess the last 3 sucked?
No African authors
No Asian authors
No Central or South American authors
Sorry, but I really don't see how this is a good guide to important literature. Nor was it intended to be! It was only "what Brits were reading in 2003."
only 1 book every1 shuld read imo and thats tha bible
