So, following on from that 100 books meme...

Name ONE book that wasn't listed that you feel should have been.

I'll kick off with The History of Love by Nicole Krauss.

Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. Such a good book, and rather creepy.

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. IMHO an instant classic.

::mumble mumble mumble::

There was so much missing off that list it's hard to think of just one that should have been on it - like, apart from the bible there are only plays and fiction? Grrr!

I'd go for P. G. Wodehouse's Jeeves books - all of 'em... it seems only fair if we're expected to plough through the whole of the bible *g*

I love your choice btw. I haven't read it yet - but it's in my bag just waiting for me to get stuck somewhere.
