And I always get a few new books to put on my TBR. But I can't take seriously any list the considers a Dan Brown book a top 10, 20....or 1000 best book. Lists are lso good for generating discussion about books which is something I like very much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-63780535479333808402009-10-13T07:29:34.078-04:002009-10-13T07:29:34.078-04:00I agree with you - the book lists are fun to read,...I agree with you - the book lists are fun to read, but I don't use them to decide what I'm actually going to read next.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261873308731564886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-31627255300757267032009-10-13T06:15:27.209-04:002009-10-13T06:15:27.209-04:00bottom line, I think they are just fun. but perhap...bottom line, I think they are just fun. but perhaps not much more useful than that.caitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824538078958999767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-24897570688756483982009-10-12T21:29:02.267-04:002009-10-12T21:29:02.267-04:00Well, there is something wrong if "DaVinci Co...Well, there is something wrong if "DaVinci Code" is near the top.

I am also one of those who SHOULD NOT get into a Da Vinci Code-debate (I did read it though, and I also read Angels & Demons, and I definitely liked Da Vinci MUCH better, I really hated Angels & Demons) and I have actually wondered where all the reviews of that last one were in the book-blogosphere. <br /><br />I agree that there has got to be a difference between "greatest books of all time" and "most recent great books because they were bestsellers". I mean, one could risk finding James Patterson on such a list.<br /><br />I checked out the Newsweek meta-list and I have only read few, although another few are actually on my tbr-list :-)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041866872571178817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-12102888378372891912009-10-12T11:11:33.283-04:002009-10-12T11:11:33.283-04:00Hi!

I like looking those lists over to get ideas and validate myself a little bit- it's fun to see what I've read, and inevitably most lists will contain something I've read! :-)Marie Cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938166831865436287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-42422952163287931762009-10-11T19:47:55.045-04:002009-10-11T19:47:55.045-04:00LOL on the Da Vinci Code.

Just the one is bad enough... but two - that's just downright wrong! <br /><br />Was also surprised to see things like Steig Larsson, and both of Khaled Hosseinis books. I hated The Kite Runner, and didn't even bother with A Thousand Splendid Suns. <br /><br />What sucks is, some amazing books didn't make the list.

They do give me ideas though, and solidify the hazy list of wonderful books I've never read. As for the Da Vinci Code? I think not. It only deserves to be on a list because Dan Brown has managed to appeal to the lowest common denominator and sell more books than just about anybody else.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-65565961052213976182009-10-11T12:17:27.418-04:002009-10-11T12:17:27.418-04:00"Really, take a look at it...The Da Vinci Cod..."Really, take a look at it...The Da Vinci Code one of the favorite books OF ALL TIME!.
