This is a great list. I love non-fiction so will be able to use it as a guide. I don't know how to add a book but would like to reccomend Zarafa: A Giraffe's True Story, from Deep in Africa to the Heart of Paris by Michael Allin.

You add books at the top of the list, at the tab next to "all votes."

However, if you are the author I believe that is no longer possible; too many authors were abusing the privilege.

@Stacey
Said it before and I'll say it again: As you share the same first name with the author, I can't escape the notion that you might be one and the same person?

# 757 The Woman in White and # 797 A Darkness Absolute are both fiction, as are #1014 Still Life, #1027 Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, and #1089 Murder on the Orient Express.

#1181 The Great Gatsby (THE great American NOVEL!!!)
