Old Notes:
First, there was the Bob Dylan List. But more people
read books than like Bob Dylan. So before Jake & Freez start
singing to make fun, I figured I'd add a Book List. Almost
everybody likes to read. I want to know what you like to read.
When I had the oldschool booklist up, I'd periodically get e-mails from angry wanderers saying that my list was childish, absurd, & how dare I call them the "best books of all-time"? Ought I not just say "favorite" or some equally mitigating word? I didn't think so, but they did. Now they have a chance to rebut my list. Or ideally just throw in their favorites.
I encourage everyone (especially my
friends, but all visitors are of course welcome) to submit to this
list. Here's the submission rules:
1. All genres welcome. No distinction
here between fiction or non, poetry or prose, or any other such
silliness.
2. Compilations strongly discouraged. Just as a
greatest-hits album
doesn't really count in an all-time best albums list, so should the Complete
Works of William Shakespeare not compete with other single volumes.
Try to pick your favorite Shakespeare plays (or whatever the
individual volumes may be) & rank them head-to-head with other
things.
3. NO series (as one entry). I know the old list had series
combos. I was wrong. I don't care if Tolkien wanted
the Lord of the Rings series published as one volume. It
wasn't. Deal.
4. All lists should be a ranked list of 25 books. No others shall
be accepted.
A couple notes on recent changes,
circa December 2004:
1. The Bible
is now being considered by the List as one book. Previous submissions of separate books
of The Bible have been incorporated into entries as The Bible.
2. This is not the version of the List that the Book Quiz was
based on in February 2004. That list was current as of the first
25 submitters, with 468 total books.
That should be it. One list per customer, obviously. Yeah,
so start sending 'em!
