What did they leave out? What should they have left out? Can the nostalgia market handle any more of this?

Maxine at Petrona has a post about book lists (hat tip, Books, Inq.). A while back, Drexel University asked faculty in the College of Arts & Sciences to submit lists of fifteen books. No specific criteria was provided and a few of us listed far more than fifteen books. The explanation is here and the full CoAS list is here (not that everyone participated). I discussed my list in a short piece called "The Dream Team." I also took anal retention to a new level and posted my (more or less) complete book shelf. Lists of "the greatest books of all time" and such are obviously subjective, often silly, though there is likely a reason certain books are consistently mentioned. In any case, I make no claims of infallibility for my Dream Team list, which already would be different (and longer) were I to be compiling it today. Anyway, feel free to comment.
