    Why? Because it's 39 places higher than Moby Dick?

    Something like that. At #29 in all literature it's higher than a lot of things.

    What can I say, I'm never satisfied with such lists.

    Great List

    I have read 36 and there are several on the list I would like to get to.

    Brothers Karamazov, War and Peace, Bleak House and Macbeth are some of my favorites. I hated the Kite Runner though, surprised to see it here. I'll talk more of that in the thread regarding "worst books ever..."

    Ooops...I seem to be lagging. Thanks for providing me with a "must read" list....
    I'm currently reading "East of Eden" which did not make the list, but is still a great read.
    Can't wait to get started on the 80 something books from the list i've yet to read.
