Okay, here it is, but yuck, it has Ayn Rand in it.

..but a list is a list... Shall we just go nuts and post a bunch of them? If you guys want to add your own lists, please make separate thread for each list - that Prizewinning thread became much too crowded lumping them all together like that.

Grr, I see what you mean, and even if I repost it, it still doesn't work. Okay, I'll copy/paste it into a "LISTS" thread. :P

http://www.theguardian.com/books/2003...

and

Well, okay, here's a bunch in which some of the above are included: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_o...

Oh, this one is a slightly different version of the one I just mentioned: http://www.nytimes.com/library/books/...

Well, they're not all equally cool, sadly. There's a crappy one - it's rather old fashioned and not very yummy, but a list is a list - this one:
http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/...
And then there is another one, ...er.. which I have now lost, but anyway, look see if you think the one mentioned is worth adding, and I will scratch out some more in the meantime.

I love this! (Even as I continue to not care about Bradbury's stance on minorities.) Go, angry emoticon, go! Rate that book! .."
Well - the thing is that he calls women minorities when actually we're not. That already shows me how skewed his thinking is- reducing us to a minority and lumping us together with orangutans just because it suits him...

LOL, I've been vacillating between a 1 star 2 star and 3 star since I read the last chapter - but the irritation started at the second section already. I think I'll do a review before I rate, but I have other books to catch up on. :)

Amy (Other Amy) wrote: "You are right. We are disagreeing to agree. I would have been more happy with the book as a whole if Clarissa had not been at all and if Millie had been allowed to be all the she could. And if Mont..."

I'm happy, I suppose, with Clarisse being the good guy and Millie being the bad guy. But the relationships are just totally too unrealistic.
Think about this: if Millie is really such a horrible, negative, shallow, self-centered lazy *itch as she is portrayed to be, how realistic is it that Montag
1) wanted to marry her in the first place
and
2) wants to remain married to her - taking into consideration, also, the fact that they do not share beds, passion, thoughts, companionship, conversation, affection, children, - they share NOTHING besides the fact that they live in the same house. Honestly, which real human being would want to remain in such a cohabitation where the two participants obviously totally work on one another's nerves and value opposing lifestyles. (She likes loud music and fast cars - loud music and fast cars drives him crazy. She likes her wall-to-wall family- he abhors it; etc. )

And to prove my point about his rightwing sentiments, I quote some excerpts from the coda by Ray Bradbury:

About two years ago, a letter arrived from a solemn young Vassar lady telling me how much she enjoyed reading my experiment in space mythology, The Martian Chronicles. But, she added, wouldn’t it be a good idea, this late in time, to rewrite the book inserting more women’s characters and roles? A few years before that I got a certain amount of mail concerning the same Martian book complaining that the blacks in the book were Uncle Toms, and why didn’t I “do them over”? Along about then came a note from a Southern white suggesting that I was prejudiced in favor of the blacks and the entire story should be dropped.
[...]
A final test for old Job II here: I sent a play, Leviathan 99, off to a university theater a month ago. My play is based on the Moby-Dick mythology, dedicated to Melville, and concerns a rocket crew and a blind space captain who venture forth to encounter a Great White Comet and destroy the destroyer. My drama premiers as an opera in Paris this autumn. But, for now, the university wrote back that they hardly dared do my play—it had no women in it! And the ERA ladies on campus would descend with ball-bats if the drama department even tried!

Grinding my bicuspids into powder, I suggested that would mean, from now on, no more productions of Boys in the Band (no women), or The Women (no men). Or, counting heads, male and female, a good lot of Shakespeare that would never be seen again, especially if you count lines and find that all the good stuff went to the males! I wrote back maybe they should do my play one week and The Women the next. They probably thought I was joking, and I’m not sure that I wasn’t. For it is a mad world and it will get madder if we allow the minorities, be they dwarf or giant, orangutan or dolphin, nuclear-head or water-conservationist, pro-computerologist or Neo-Luddite, simpleton or sage, to interfere with aesthetics.

The real world is the playing ground for each and every group, to make or unmake laws. But the tip of the nose of my books or stories or poems is where their rights end and my territorial imperatives begin, run and rule. If Mormons do not like my plays, let them write their own. If the Irish hate my Dublin stories, let them rent typewriters. If teachers and grammar-school editors find my jawbreaker sentences shatter their mushmilk teeth, let them eat stale cake dunked in weak tea of their own ungodly manufacture. If the Chicano intellectuals wish to re-cut my “Wonderful Ice Cream Suit” so it shapes “Zoot,” may the belt unravel and the pants fall. For, let’s face it, digression is the soul of wit. Take philosophic asides away from Dante, Milton, or Hamlet’s father’s ghost and what stays is dry bones. Laurence Sterne said it once: “Digressions, incontestably, are the sunshine . . . the life, the soul of reading!” Take them out, and one cold, eternal winter would reign in every page. Restore them in the writer—he steps forth like a bridegroom, bids them all-hail, brings in variety, and forbids the appetite to fail. In sum, do not insult me with the beheadings, finger-choppings, or the lung-deflations you plan for my works. I need my head to shake or nod, my hand to wave or make into a fist, my lungs to shout or whisper with. I will not go gently onto a shelf, degutted, to become a non-book. All you umpires, back to the bleachers. Referees, hit the showers. It’s my game. I pitch, I hit, I catch. I run the bases.

Well, Ray Bradbury, I get to rate, and it's not going to be pretty. >:(

The prizewinning fiction had it's own folder, but just after you mentioned your difficulty, I changed the folder's name to lists and stuck the 1001 books into it as well. See, because I've found MORE juicy lists! MOAR LISTZS!!! :O
Will be adding them soon. (Well, soon-ish).
