A book list will never satisfy everyone, we all have different tastes. And publishing a list of books that have been read the most or on the bestsellers list are also inconclusive. As they land on the bestsellers list by hype generated around the book and stay there because people generally read what make the bestsellers list. Take Dan Brown the Da Vinci Code, utter tripe!

I'm just curious where the comics are. "Watchmen"? "From Hell"? "V for Vendetta"?
