David Bowie's Top 100 Must Read Books
This has been all over the web this past week, (9/30/13), so I'm somewhat surprised that no one has made an official Goodreads list out of it yet.

R.I.P.
edit: For those who seem incapable of reading (ironic, given that you're on this site), this list is David Bowie's Top 100 Books. Make your own damn list if you want, but stop adding books to this list that aren't on the list referenced in the links above. Thanks.

Thanks! I was about to do the same this morning. Cheers.

Technically, yes. But this list was from DB himself, (see: links above), so I would prefer it if folks didn't start adding random books, seeing as the list is already complete. Thanks.


UPDATE: Doh, if we make it static, we take away the ability to vote. Sorry folks.


Hi there. If you look at the original list provided in the links above, DB lists 'the Inferno', not the entire 'Divine Comedy' trilogy, hence why it is listed as it is.

Hi there. If you lo..."
thanks Mark


Thanks in advance,
Ace

You have to do it one by one. And if you have something already shelved, you have to open it etc. because otherwise you are going to shelf a dublicate. It's not user friendly.

Edit: And thanks for making the list!"
I added them one by one. :)

I really hope (although I'm skeptical of some users' good sense) people understand this is Bowie's tribute list, not some random list they can add their favourite books.


I'm not sure how to prevent people from adding unrelated books to this list. If you know of a way to change the settings, please let me know. Thanks.


Hi, Mark. You have to be a librarian to be able to change your list, which is stupid considering that whatever change you make won't affect the database, and you should be in charge of deleting books from your own list.
You can apply to be a librarian, though.
