    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!

    Agreed. Was really looking forward to reading something by James but I am glad at least Edith Wharton has made the cut. I really enjoyed her Age of Innocence.

    I have been wanting to read her for while now. I will be glad, I think, to find an excuse to make time.

    Invisible Manby Ralph Ellison has always been one of my favorites.

    The book list lacks diversity.
