Sticking to english language books has proved quite a good idea as it has kept the list fairly consistent. That said, there are still a few token gestures and notable absentees. Confederacy of Dunces and Brave New World aren't included and the Philip K Dick book selected seems to have been selected almost at random so as to include him (as he should be, but surely A Scanner Darkly and Do Androids... are the best books) anyway I've read 10, started an additional 4 that I've never finished and wierdly was in the middle of Slaughterhouse 5 when I saw the list.
