The Arrival by Shaun Tan is on this list twice, once around 25 and once in the 200s. It's also on the 2006 list.
I told it to remove duplicates, so hopefully it's no longer listed twice.
I wonder whether people are using this list to actually look at the best works of literature, which is surely what most people would like this list to be. It seems like adding cookbooks or volumes of anime is against the point. It's not "books that were enjoyed during 2007" or "books that we happen to have read that were published in 2007", after all.
I've removed The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (2008, according to GR) and Mister Pip (2006).
