Thanks for this list! I had seen a list of just the additions, but its good to have it all together like this. I haven't gone through and re-calculated my total, but I think I'm going to stick with the original list for my "official" total. I'd hate to have to drop down in numbers after all the books I've read! Although I doubt I'll ever lack for anything to read...

Thanks for the new list! This has the potential to enlarge the TBR pile a bit, doesn't it? :-)

I developed an excel spreadsheet for the 2006 edition that listed the books numerically, alphabetically, and by author's last name and ran a tally for you. Someone else did the same thing but only numerically and has their's posted on the web. I'm sure if you google it you'll find it. I'm currently working on the 2008 version. I'll be happy to email it to people when't it's ready - but it may be awhile before it's done.

No I'm sorry I don't have a list of the dropped ones and don't think I'll bother making one. The new books on the 2008 list have been noted with a *

How interesting. Did they say why they made a new list and why they dropped the other titles? I can see making additions to the list, but it's sort of sad to see books dropped. I'm sure I've read far fewer of the newer book--many I've never even heard of. Still interesting to see new (to me) titles.

Hi,
I'm seriously impressed by your posting the list and going through and starring them all! But, having gone through stuff with a perl script, I think there are a couple of mistakes on your stars, and thought you might like to know.
not new additions are:
Jacques the Fatalist
Last Chronicle of Barset
The Enchanted Wanderer
Rashomon
Look Homeward, Angel
A Town Like Alice
The Garden of the Finzi-Continis
Broken April
New ones you missed were:
Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset
Retreat Without Song by Shahan Shahnoor
The Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schulz
Untouchable by Mulk Raj Anand
Crossfire by Miyabe Miyuki
Thanks so much for posting the new list up, it's an amazing resource for all us listaholics :-) -

Thanks for catching those mistakes Liz! All I can say is that I was starting to go cross-eyed going between the pages of the book and the 2006 list online. :)

Thanks for the complete new list. I'd love to get a copy of the spreadsheet when it's done.
I'm post the list with a link to your site tomorrow. I have to finish marking and counting the ones I've read. -

Thanks for posting the new list--interesting to see some of the differences. I'm kind of surprised that All the Pretty Horses and Blood Meridian were added for McCarthy but not his highly acclaimed The Road which won the Pulitzer??
Did I see you mention you are created an excel document like the current one floating around? I'd definitely be interested in see it as I love the other one.
