Updated to add: Hubby (a true book freak, but that's another post all together) has a site you might enjoy. It's called

You did the chart, too! Wasn't THAT a right fiddly business?
Although I enjoyed the Harry Potter books, I didn't see why they ALL had to be on a list of only 100. That would be getting more than your fair share of the pie, really.
Similarly Tolkein, come to that...
One of my commenters LOVED "The Secret Life of Bees", and one didn't like it at all. So of course I went to find it at the library. It wasn't there, but "The Mermaid Chair" was. I'm almost finished now - and very much liking it, so I'll definitely read the other.
I loved The Time Traveller's Wife, too. Would I read it a second time? Likely.
You know another book that should have been on this list? A Widow for One Year, by John Irving. I've rad that twice - by accident. When I picked it up the second time, I'd forgotten I'd read it before. I recalled it before I'd gotten too far in, but I liked it well enough to finish it the second time!
