4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

You'll hit all 100 in no time!

But seriously, what kind of cracked-out book list is that? It's full of a weird mixture of redundancies and glaring omissions. And wtf is the Bible doing in with a list of novels?

It can't be a list top bestsellers of all time, because, hey, no Little Red Book and no Koran: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_books

And it sure as heck doesn't match up with the usual lists of top 100 books:

Yeah, "5 people you meet in heaven" -- what kind of crap is that? His book could have been written by a 10 year old.

and the DaVinci Code? more crap. Who the hell slapped this list together?

heh, I liked '5 people,' actually. Not great, but interesting.

These lists always suck; notice how there aren't any of the SGA novels on there. ;P
