Default book list

1 - The Bible**
2 - Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand
3 - The Road Less Traveled, by M. Scott Peck
4 - To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
5 - The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien
6 - Gone With the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell
7 - How to Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie
8 - The Book of Mormon

** A large gap exists between the #1 book and the rest of the list.

Where do you think the bible would rank without the Gideon Society?

How very constructive.
What leads you to state that No. 4 --- To Kill A Mockingbird is shite ?

TKaMB is not my type of book. IMO, it comes across as trite and predictable. It may have been fresh back in the 50's but not when I read it back in the 70's.

BTW, my comments where not meant to be constructive. Sorry, I didn't realize this was a requirment to post.

No worries, it's always nice to know where someone is coming from --- and how to estimate their contributory worth.
