After we read Fahrenheit 451 as a class, I asked my Grade 10 English students what book they would save if all books were being destroyed and they could keep only one. These are the books that matter to them!

Shannon, how many books were on the original list? Do you want me to remove the books that you didn't vote for? (As I assume that is the original list.)

Sure, Susanna. I suppose I should have made the list closed to other contributions, but I wasn't sure how to do that. I'd love to leave it open to votes, but not to additions, if that's possible. Thank you!

OK, I'll delete anything you didn't vote for.
Putting a note in the subtitle about please not adding books to the list would probably help, though not stop it altogether.
All I had to get was the former #1, which has been spammed on many a list by these identical voters.If you've got any other problems, just mention it here, and I'll see if I can fix it.
