We've got new people and read more, so after two years I think it's about time to update our list of the best 100 books of all time ever in existence and other dimensions. With all that in mind, I'd like to get a list of people interested in contributing to the list so that we can figure out the best voting method. Accordingly, if you could post in this thread with a comment saying that you'll compile a list as soon as possible we can get this thing rolling. Here's the
2010 list and the
2008 list.
We've lost some people and gained others, so there's a lot of potential for big changes this year. There's a certain book or series of books that is sure to make its first appearance on the list.
