No problem.

I have removed six books from the top 100 that were ineligible by virtue of publication dates before January 1st, 2001.

I removed The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat and Homicide. Both were published prior to 1/1/2001. Read them both and they are great books!

Consider yourself reported for spam, "Kardi."

Consider yourself flagged, you disgusting spammer.

#1180 Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman = great book, but published in 1985.
Also, A Visit from the Goon Squad won the Pulitzer for fiction, thus doesn't belong here.

Duplicates #339 & #366: The God Delusion (and/or #1455)
