Interesting list. Haven't read 14 of them and really surprised that they'd put The Fountainhead on the list but not Atlas Shrugged, which I think is a much better book. And why the Bible but not the Koran? Was hoping that Stranger in a Strange Land would be on the list -- it really did impact a lot of my generation. Was glad to see In Cold Blood here. Talk about a book that was beautifully written on a horrific subject. And really can't understand why Lolita would be on the list. It was titillating for its time, but I don't think it was all that good of a book. Oh, well. Regardless, one of the better lists I've seen. Thanks for sharing.
