Starting at #1

Leslie brings up an excellent point in her comment--why are we beginning at #1? I believe we should clarify.I don't think the list is an actual ranking, just a top 100 list. Jana, was this your impression as well? Being that it was just a top 100 list, we just decided to start at the beginning and move onward from there.

Plus we have a Jon Stewart book to look forward to at the end. Trust me, it is much lighter far than The Road, which I have finally started. Even better, I have the large print edition (see: JCPL Sucks A$$) and can read it from any location in the house. Turning pages has proven difficult, though.

I too am not sure that the list is "ranked." If it is though it will be interesting to compare the other books to The Road, for example is #37- Persepolis better than The Road. I will go ahead and ruin it for you, it is...
Plus I am a little on the anal side and like to start lists at number 1 :)

I am shocked at your saying you are a little anal. I would never believe it!

Of course, none of my own paper back novels have cracked spines...

Cracked spines are the only way I can remember how much I liked a book :)
