19 The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer (have read only the commonly assigned; will read as a whole one of these days)

44 Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Dafoe
45 One Flew over the Cuckoo´s Nest by Ken Kesey

Interesting Hemingway selection. What's up with that? I'm sure there is an inaugural post that explains why these hot 50. I will look for it.

These 50 were taken from a Barnes and Noble book mark in the early 2000s. I think it is half of that years BBC or Times 100 and wondered if there were more bookmarks
