    As with any prize there are a lot of books on that list that have faded into oblivion, and just as many classics that didn't make it.

    But that said, I'm still kind of embarrassed that I've read so few of them. And some of them I read a long time ago. I guess I'd have to say:

    The Age of Innocence 8
    Arrowsmith 6
    Bridge of San Luis Rey 6
    Guard of Honor 10 (practically my favorite book)
    The Old Man and the Sea 5
    Advise and Consent 5
    To Kill a Mockingbird 6
    Angle of Repose 4
    Lonesome Dove 7
    Humboldt's Gift 8
