David Eggers, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius 6. Gabriel Garcia Marquez, A Hundred Years of Solitude 7. John McPhee, Coming Into the Country 8. John Barth, The Floating Opera 9. Arthur Stanley Eddington, The Philosophy of Physical Science 10. Richard Mitchell, Less Than Words Can Say Some honorable mentions: Ken Kesey, Sometimes A Great Notion Joseph Heller, Catch-22 O. E. Rolvag, Giants in the Earth Margaret Mitchell, Gone With the Wind John Kennedy Toole, A Confederacy of Dunces Wallace Stegner, Angle of Repose Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird Art Speigleman, Maus Beryl Markham, West With the Night Tom Wolfe, A Man in Full Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible OK. I nominate Hollis Hunter Henry, David Bruemmer, Darlene Rydalch, James Kent, Monica Hopkins-Maxwell, Karen J Young, Sean Coletti, Marty Johncox, MaCay Wiesemann Frerichs, Andy Frerichs, Jesse Holmes, David Neiwert, Pamela B Holman, Jill Kuraitis, Hilary Brown, Jim Culleny, Jim Farrer, Beau Seegmiller, Dawn Anderson, Robert Hemsley, Lindsey Romankiw I figure Im allowed to tag the same number of people as books I listed.
