Not all his books are that long, I mean, they aren't short either but I would hope that if Irving is picked, Until I Find You wouldn't be the book we'd pick to read.Quote:

NOOOOOOOOO! How did Eugenides miss the cut?????? Awww Crud!
And Henry James! I wanted Henry James.
Still, 2007's list is very different from 2006's. I am really looking forward to trying some of these authors for the first time.
Thanks everyone for your nominations and votes! :)

The book list lacks diversity.
I too like Invisible Man. But this is how the vote turned out.Quote:
