The Guardian’s Definitive List

Literanista January 25, 2009

The Guardian posted yesterday 1000 novels everyone must read: the definitive list. I was glad to see old and new favorites on the list, like Blindness and The Road as well as The Color Purple and Kindred. I love the categories too; Love, Family, etc.,

I also love that they offered to add in any crucial books they might have missed if you email them by Feb. 4th.
