I haven't yet read The Road either but I've been meaning to get to it for awhile now. <BR/><BR/>I think I have a copy of Thirteen Moons on my shelf waiting to be read. Cold Mountain hasn't really appealed to me (and I never saw the movie), but that could change. I've heard good things about it.<BR/><BR/>Jenclair - I was thinking of that too as I read that list--that I should move several up in my TBR pile. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-57788931143548789982008-06-24T05:03:00.000-07:002008-06-24T05:03:00.000-07:00An interesting list.

Reminds of titles that have been on my TBR list for a while and should be moved up!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-59355809468826306402008-06-24T04:51:00.000-07:002008-06-24T04:51:00.000-07:00I've seen this list a lot recently on people's blo...I've seen this list a lot recently on people's blogs and I wonder--are these ranked in order? I find it fascinating that The Road is ranked number one! Guess I better get on that. :) I haven't gone through the actual list to see what is "missing" but we all have our opinions, right? I recommend Cold Mountain by Frazier--Thirteen Moons was written just as beautifully but the story just isn't as compelling (for me anyway).Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-74955316862590789042008-06-23T22:46:00.000-07:002008-06-23T22:46:00.000-07:00Alice - Go to bed!

Get some sleep so you will be bright-eyed and full of energy tomorrow! :-)<BR/><BR/>Carrie K. - It was interesting to see which works were chosen of the authors I have read. <BR/><BR/>Katherine - I was glad to see nonfiction on the list too. It's nice to see some variety even if I don't agree with all of the choices.<BR/><BR/>Nymeth - The Da Vinci Code has earned a spot because of the controversy surrounding it, I think. LOL I still think it's all so amusing, the fuss that was made over that book. <BR/><BR/>I was glad to see graphic novels make the list--the definitely deserve a place in history.<BR/><BR/>Julia - You better get started so you can read them all! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the tag! I will probably play along on Friday.<BR/><BR/>Tracy - It is fun to see what others have read and have to say about the list. Harry Potter has been influential. I am surprised that The Road made #1. I haven't read it yet, but I am sure I'll sun find out what all the fuss is about.<BR/><BR/>Bybee - The list was definitely made by a different type of people than most of these lists are put together by. It's nice to see some books get recognized that might not have been otherwise.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-33047897022323895362008-06-23T18:31:00.000-07:002008-06-23T18:31:00.000-07:00This is not too bad of a list.

I'm not even sure if I have read them all *grin*...I seen a couple of titles that I'm nodding that have read already. But I may have to come back to this post and take a concentration and clear look at the list, later. Since I'm busy doing other stuff. Thanks for sharing your interesting list :)<BR/><BR/>Hope you don't mind but....TAG you're it. It easy one to do, I promise. Take look at my "The 123 Page" meme at my blog :) I fair you have a good day :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06327851309182088290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-12824102618719624822008-06-23T12:15:00.000-07:002008-06-23T12:15:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing.

I have to confess that The Da Vinci Code made me raise my eyebrows just for a second, but then I told myself not to be snobbish. I didn't enjoy it much at all, but obviously lots of others did, and it certainly is a memorable book.<BR/><BR/>I've read 16 of those. Not very much, but actually more than what's usual for me when it comes to these lists.Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-57926536164053738062008-06-23T11:08:00.000-07:002008-06-23T11:08:00.000-07:00I too played along on my blog.
