Carro | 5 comments Well, I've already read quite a few, all unknowing. :) Philip Pullman, JK Rowling, Lord of the Flies, Gone with the Wind, To Kill a Mockingbird and Alexander Solzhenitsyn - and that's just the first page of the list......

I have, too. There are some books that I don't understand why they are on the list. It is interesting to see what has made the list. I hope you join the challenge.
