Yes, I think there are many other deserving books that could have made the list.

Readers out there, here’s a link to the book Barbara thinks could have made the list:

I have dozens which should be there: one that comes to mind is “I know this much is true” by Wally Lamb.

There are just so many darn books out there, and lists can certainly help us discover works that deserve a chance. Also, may I say, I *like* your name! LOL

The twenty or so that I have read are truly great books–well written, memorable, and rewarding. Of the ones that I have not read, the majority are ones I have heard of and hope to read someday, so I’ll hang on to this list and see how many more I can know off.
