From these two lists, I've only read Lord of the Flies and The Handmaid's Tale, so I will abstain once again.
Chris has a lot of authors I would like to read, though. I've got some Steinbeck, Dick and Kundera on my shelf waiting to be read, and I'd love to check out Kafka, Marquez and Parker. As for Elizabeth's list: McBain, Forsythe and Ludlum don't interest me. The rest I don't know anything about :b
Anyone want to continue with the voting? I think everyone's got a great list. As far as I'm concerned, you're all winners. I know that's a hippy-dippy wishy-washy kinda thing to say, but it's true.
