How is Bram Stokers Dracula not on that list...its suppose to be one of the most read books.
My fiance has watched a couple episodes of this. It is a list of "most loved" novels based on a survey. So the list probably says more about Americans than it does literature.
"How were the top 100 books chosen?
PBS and the producers worked with the public opinion polling service “YouGov” to conduct a demographically and statistically representative survey asking Americans to name their most-loved novel. Approximately 7,200 people participated."
A rather short (~150 pages) book about an ordinary, yet violent supply run of a Nazi desert ship through Atlantropa. Its a haunting depiction of an alternate history set 2000 years in the future through the eyes of the ships captain.

A manga called Last Hour, it's both beautiful and depressing; but it looks like it's a trendy thing to write these days...

The 'Simon' Necronomicon is widely considered the 'best' if you didn't already know that.
I'll throw any interesting bits I might find your way
Im on book 11 of 15 of Metamorphosis by Ovid - Now this is a good book so far, an epic tale. Poetry to the ears.
ill have to check out Simons, Nekronomicon, I was going to pick up a copy but I wasnt sure if it was good. There were only a few parts of the Annunaki bible i found interesting. Chants ... how to summon the FIRE GOD. GIBIL
